We’re Erica and Pedro Oliveira — married, creative, and somehow now… artists?
What started as “let’s paint something for this blank wall” turned into a studio full of large-format abstract pieces in colors we didn’t overthink.
Now we make big pieces for other people who want their space to actually feel like something. We don’t do prints. We don’t follow trends. We just paint what we’d want to stare at for a long, long time.
We reuse canvases because we like them with a little baggage. Everything is one-of-a-kind. Mostly because we forget how we did it the first time.
Some people call it abstract art. We just call it a thing — An Oliveira Thing.
We Don’t Know What We’re Doing.
It Works Though.
Erica Oliveira
Went to art school and actually finished — BFA in Graphic Design, thank you very much.
By day, she’s an Art Director at a packaging firm, turning brand chaos into clean visuals and retail dreams. By night (and weekend, and every free wall), she paints — chasing what can’t be kerned, proofed, or pitched.
Her work bridges polish and instinct. She brings the structure, the layering, the decisions that make a mess feel intentional.
And when the digital world gets too quiet? She picks up a brush and lets it all get loud again.
Pedro Oliveira
Pedro’s from Portugal. He’s a winemaker. That’s all you need to know about that.
He didn’t go to art school. He just picked up a brush one day and didn’t stop. His approach is intuitive, no sketches, no plan, no second-guessing. He paints by feel, like the canvas already knows what it wants to be.
His work leans into texture, contrast, and motion. Raw and instinctual, but never careless. He doesn’t talk much while he paints. The pieces do that part.
