Vanessa Bles Fine Art

Lively, intimate, and warm artistry that comes straight from the heart and is filled with soul

My artistic focus is on painting animals, people, flowers, and other things that inspire me during my travels. Life and my experiences inspire me to paint.

I approach my work with a soulful perspective, emphasizing female empowerment and a love for life's simple pleasures.

About the Artist

Hello , I am Vanessa Furtado Bles - Welcome to my world!!!
I have a light-hearted, soulful, and warm style when it comes to painting. My painting process can get messy with the use of paint but I appreciate the freedom it provides me with. Painting has always allowed me to express myself in ways words cannot. As a photographer, I often use my own photos as inspiration for my paintings.

I create my artwork when I am in a peaceful state of mind, using a mix of media, but mainly acrylic paint. I prefer to paint on stretched canvas and wood panels, particularly on large surfaces as they make a bold statement in a room. My art studio is located on a farm in Norfolk County, Ontario Canada.

My artwork is a true reflection of my heart and life experiences. I have found that my best pieces are created when I am in a positive state of mind, and this positive energy is transmitted to the spaces where my artwork is displayed. I take pride in the honesty and positivity that my paintings exude.

Authenticity is a value that I hold in high regard, and I always strive to live my life in complete honesty.

As a self-taught artist, I've come to realize that my painting style is constantly evolving with each new piece. Every painting presents a unique lesson, and my art reflects the memories and life experiences that have helped shape me into the woman I am today.

Travel is a major source of inspiration for me, as I love immersing myself in different cultures and living like a local.

I love painting the female form as a way to express my personal journey of self-love. It brings me great joy to help other women embrace their femininity through art. Being able to show others the beauty within themselves is a true gift and I feel grateful to contribute to female empowerment in this way.
