Featured Artist: EduEly

In a year filled with unprecedented upheaval, EduEly’s art is the perfect way to add a little bit of sweetness, comfort, and humor back into your day. His art is like a lemon pie that is “sweet with a touch of sour” to balance out the taste buds. The hilarious designs — filled with mischievous cats or heartwarming mantras — can help keep audiences smiling during even the most difficult of times.

Although Eduardo loves to travel, he considers Brazil his home and he cannot imagine ever leaving it. He appreciates how pursing art has allowed him to maintain his passion, while also permitting flexibility and the chance to travel abroad. He believes he has a “sustainable business model that provides me an excellent life quality, being able to make a lot of trips and even work during them.”

EduEly’s designs radiate a warmth and a sense of comfort that make it obvious that his “inspirations always come in relaxing moments.” He confesses that “for me, my work is pure fun, it is part of my life as a whole.” Nevertheless, he has learned that he cannot “fall into these traps of messing with a design forever” because the drive for perfection can overwhelm the joy from creating art.

Eduardo’s fun designs are also a distraction for him. He shares that he has suffered with hip problems and several surgeries, but that he is always looking forward to a “better” future ahead. In fact, he strives to make a better future for everyone and believes that a true visionary is someone who gives back to society. He acknowledges that “everything is part of a process where the world wins.”
