Roberta Queiroga is a contemporary artist based in Aotearoa New Zealand whose practice sits at the intersection of gesture, emotion, and spatial awareness. With a background in architecture, she brings a refined sense of balance, rhythm, and materiality to her abstract compositions, where spontaneous mark-making meets a minimalist, architectural sensibility.

Born in Brazil and shaped by life across four continents, Roberta’s work carries a rich cultural resonance. Influences from Brazil, Portugal, Japan, and Aotearoa merge into a visual language that is both intuitive and deliberate, rooted in movement and anchored by structure. Her paintings often read as emotional landscapes, capturing lived experience through layered gestures and calligraphic nuance.

Her practice has been recognised in Aotearoa and abroad, including exhibitions at the Auckland Museum, a Parkin Prize finalist placing, representing New Zealand in a global exhibition of women artists in Dubai, and an artist residency in Japan that continues to shape her exploration of line and space. Recent exhibitions include a solo pop-up at Spacefor and a DUO show with Japanese calligrapher Ito Junichi.
