BIOGRAPHY

Priscila De Carvalho (b. Brazil) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Brooklyn, New York, whose work investigates how place is constructed—through image, memory, architecture, and cultural narrative. Working across painting, public art, sculpture, and installation, she examines how environments and ecologies are idealized, designed, and marketed through visual and cultural systems—from tourism, marketing and misinformation to utopian promise and ecological collapse.

Throughout her career, Priscila De Carvalho has received numerous accolades, including the 2025 NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship in Architecture/Environmental Structures/Design, the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Fellowship (2008), and residencies at Socrates Sculpture Park, Sculpture Space (2010), Aljira Emerge10, the Lower East Side Printshop (2010), and the Siddhartha Art Foundation (2013).

Her artistic contributions extend to public spaces across the United States, including permanent installations for the MTA Arts & Design program (New York City Subway, 2015), Public Art for Public Schools and the School Construction Authority, the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs Percent for Art Program, NYC Department of Transportation, University Health Women’s & Children’s Hospital (San Antonio, Texas), Colorado State University (Denver), Utah Transit Authority (Ogden), and Valley Metro Light Rail (Phoenix). Her work is also represented in the collections of the Bronx Museum of the Arts, Artium The Basque Museum of Contemporary Art (Spain), the Siddhartha Art Foundation (Nepal), and the Lower East Side Printshop (New York City).

She has exhibited extensively both nationally and internationally, representing Brazil at the Kathmandu International Triennial in Nepal, participating in El Museo's Sixth Biennial The [S] Files/The Street Files in New York City, and being featured in the Bronx Museum Biennial.

Her work has been featured in publications including The New York Times, The Huffington Post, Hyperallergic, The Kathmandu Post, O Globo, Art Aldia International, and Art Nexus. She currently resides and works in Brooklyn, New York.
