Artwork Description

"Perdu" whispers the silent struggle of a soul adrift. Wrapped in uncertainty, the young woman seeks answers that elude her grasp. Her eyes, pools of reflection, mirror the journey of self-discovery. She navigates the labyrinth of identity, longing for a place to belong. In "Perdu," find resonance with the journey of the lost, the seekers of truth amidst the shadows.

Kati Garrett Filho 144 artworks | 37 Sold

I’m Kati Garrett Filho, a self-taught artist based on the Sunshine Coast, Australia. I work across two quiet but emotionally resonant practices:

~ hyper-realistic charcoal portraits of women dressed in midcentury elegance

~ detailed paintings of birds perched on midcentury ceramics, rendered on paper or board. 

My work is rooted in nostalgia. Whether drawing from a bygone era's poised aesthetic or everyday objects' quiet endurance, I explore the emotional weight that lingers in stillness, memory, and softness. I’m drawn to the slow pace of handcraft, to times when care was etched into the surface of things. 

Each of my portraits evolve through delicate, deliberate strokes — charcoal gently sculpted into realism, revealing not just a likeness, but mood, atmosphere, and story. Often I write short narrative vignettes to accompany each figure - like fragments from a novel - inviting the viewer into an imagined world.

The birds and pots are intricate works painted with great detail to capture reflections and mood.

For me, art is a way to hold space for beauty, stillness and the small things that outlast their time.  My work speaks to collectors who value craftsmanship, subtlety, and the layered storytelling that lives in materials and memory.
