Estúdio Embaúba is a Rio de Janeiro-based creative practice co-founded by Adriana and Renata Palheiros. The studio focuses on fine art and illustration, with a particular emphasis on watercolor techniques. Renata Palheiros brings a deep academic foundation to their work, holding a Master’s in Art History and Criticism alongside specialized studies in Cinema and Sacred Art History. Their practice is deeply rooted in the natural and urban environment of Brazil. The studio is recognized for its botanical studies and the "Retrato de Casa" (House Portrait) series, which translates architectural forms into delicate watercolor compositions. Their work often moves beyond the page, appearing on decorative tiles and limited-edition prints that reflect the local atmosphere of Rio de Janeiro.

Visual voice

The aesthetic is defined by the fluid transparency of watercolor, focusing on the organic shapes of Brazilian flora and the architectural lines of Rio de Janeiro.
