Papagaio (2012) Painting by India O'Hara Andreoli

India was born in Curitiba, south of Brazil on May 26th -1963. Art has always been her gift since early years. After she completing her schooling at "Faculdade de Artes do Paraná" and many art courses oriented by various well-knonw artist in Brazil, India decided to look for new influences and styles. Her first stop was in England in 1984 followed by Italy in 1985.

Upon her return, the artist awoke to mysticism and began to research the art and spirituality of other cultures.She began a cycle of speeches about the Inca, Mayan and Aztecc cultures as well as the interest of seeing and feeling all that "in loco", she undertook a new challenge, due to her free and adventurous spirit, she went to Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia to taste those cultures and representing them from her deepest insights.The exhibitions "Ecos" and "Rocas" were the results of those unique experiences. Subsenquently, different journeys took place. But this time she went on interior journeys searching for the deepest meaning of life, death, love and hatred through the four elements; water, fire, air and earth. The earht became literally an integrated part of her paintings, giving pigmentation and texture in a new technique developed by the artist. From that experience came the exhibition called "Terra".

"Entre Ritos e Mitos Místicos" comes to life from another interior journey of the artist,Celts, Vikings, Druids and Runes Blend in one big magical soup that touches our senses reposrting us to a dimension of ridden energies.

Shamans of North, Central and South America were in the centre of the spiral, when she lived after more than a month within Indigenous Brazillian Tribes, the artist reach her goal which was to participate of rituals and celebrations as well as to become familiar with their daily lives, values, perceptions and energies. She brought to us the colors and shades of the Amazon Forest with her exhibiotion "Interiores"

In 2019, she moved to Australia and remaining on the path of spirituality, she continue her researching about the connections we all are linked in, from an Infinite Source, where all the information comes through, the comunications from far away cultures, and then emerged "The Link Between Us", an exhibition that shows the similarities from the Brasillian Indigenous and Australian Aboriginal cultures.
