About the Artist
Lisi Pratini is a Brazilian-born Australian contemporary visual artist based in Northern New South Wales, Australia.
Her practice explores nature, symbolism, archetypes and consciousness through The Living Systems Project.
Working primarily with watercolour, acrylic paint, acrylic paint pens and ink on paper, she creates richly layered compositions through pointillist textures, organic forms and vibrant colour.
Trees, roots, spirals, circular structures and luminous centres recur throughout her work. These archetypal forms evoke connection, memory, transformation and the life force shared across bodies, ecosystems and inner worlds.
Her creative process is embodied and guided by intuition, close observation, emotional resonance and sustained attention. Images develop gradually, allowing unexpected relationships and meanings to reveal themselves through the act of making.
Each artwork becomes a contemplative field rather than a purely representational image—an invitation to slow down, encounter the visible and invisible, and experience meaning beyond intellectual interpretation.
Artistic Vision
My artistic vision is to create art that functions as a field of experience rather than an object.
I see art as a bridge between the visible and the invisible — a space where consciousness, emotion, memory, and nature meet.
Through organic forms, rhythmic repetition and vibrant colour, my work explores unity, ancestral memory, perception and the relationships between individual and collective life.
I am interested in art that slows the viewer down, invites presence, and opens subtle inner spaces.
My paintings are not meant to be interpreted in a single way, but to be felt, allowing each person to encounter their own inner landscape through the work.
Art, for me, is not separate from life — it is a language of awareness, integration, and remembrance.
Art Therapy Connection
My artistic practice is deeply influenced by art therapy processes, which serve as a foundational source of my visual language.
Many of the images, symbols, and structures present in my work emerge within art therapy sessions, where I engage as a student and participant in experiential, embodied creative processes. These sessions provide a space for authentic expression, inner listening, and symbolic exploration, allowing images to arise organically from lived inner experience rather than conceptual planning.
This connection to art therapy grounds my work in presence, emotional truth, and embodied awareness. While my artworks are not created as therapeutic tools, they carry the depth, sensitivity, and symbolic resonance that naturally arise from this process-based approach to creation.
