Daniela Schiller
Bio
Daniela Schiller is a Brazilian artist trained in Architecture and Urbanism at the University of São Paulo (FAU-USP). Based in São Paulo, her practice moves between painting, embroidery, and textile objects, exploring the relationships between matter, memory, and perception.
Her research draws on the contemplation of the sky, childhood memories, and an interest in the different ways people perceive and represent the cosmos. Working with fabric, thread, pigments, and metal, she explores the space between the visible and the imagined.
She is part of Hermes Artes Visuais, an independent space dedicated to artistic guidance and development. She has participated in several group exhibitions in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and, in 2026, Chile. Her works are held in private collections.
Statement
My work grows out of a fascination with the sky and the cosmos that surrounds us, especially with what exists beyond our sight and what gradually reveals itself. Trained as an architect, I have always been drawn to maps as ways of imagining and understanding space. This familiarity finds its way into my art, where I redraw celestial maps and symbols through painting, embroidery, and objects. With thread, fabric, and metal, I try to give form to what we cannot see but can sense, remember, or imagine, creating connections between the tangible and the unknown.

Realizada con tiras de latón e hilos bordados, la obra evoca una lluvia de estrellas que parece desprenderse del firmamento. Utilizando materiales y técnicas recurrentes en su práctica artística, como el latón y el bordado, Daniela Schiller explora el contraste entre la delicadeza del hilo, el brillo y la energía del metal.
