Stephanie Saeta / Holding on

Stephanie Saeta is a Brazilian abstract artist based in Berlin. She paints with diluted acrylic inks on raw canvas, letting colour move through the fabric and building each work in translucent layers.

Her paintings are rooted in personal experiences that have changed her deeply. Going through breast cancer, becoming a mother, living in different countries, and experiencing burnout gradually reshaped her relationship with time and her understanding of what matters most.

Stephanie Saeta's Whispers Collection explores the traces left by profound change and the beginnings that follow, when things have not quite settled and the past is still present, but there is hope for what comes next. This feeling carries through to her process: as pigment sinks into the fabric, each layer becomes part of the next. Her colours draw inspiration from leaves, flowers, earth, sunlight and shadow, reflecting a natural world that is constantly changing and leaving traces of what came before. Through Whispers, Stephanie expresses something personal while leaving room for others to connect through their own lives and memories.

Holding On is painted on a lighter-weight raw cotton canvas with a subtle translucency. This quality is intentional and adds to the softness and depth of the work. Its appearance may shift slightly with the light and the surface behind it.
