Hej, I'm Ana!

And I'm so glad to have you here. You might be surprised to hear that I am actually a Brazilian plant biologist turned fiber artist. I was born in Rio de Janeiro & I am passionate about nature, its forms and all the phenomena that relate to it, and that's why I chose to study and specialize in life. In 2020, I combined my work as a biology teacher and researcher with the study of arts. I fell in love with working with textile art and all the creative possibilities it gives me.

When I moved to Sweden, I was impressed by the landscapes and how nature changes according to the seasons - Brazil and its tropical climate have two well-defined seasons.I found it interesting to note how the changes in the enviroment regulate and relate to Swedes' behavior and traditions. I then decided to incorporate all this observations into my artwork. Today, I create pieces that mix the modernism of Scandinavian design with the uniqueness of tropicalism. 

In April 2024, my family and I choose our place in Sweden: Sankt Olof, a calm village with lush nature in the heart of Österlen. There, I was able to turn a great desire into reality: to have a workspace combined with a store, where people could come, touch the pieces, see the materials I use, the production processes and get inspiration on how to use them to decorate their homes. This is how Ana Viveiros atelier was proudly born.
