Where my canvases meet my flavors.
The Artist
At the end of 2023, she moved to the United States and chose Las Vegas as her new home, with the intention of improving her English and embracing new roles and new projects, one of them being Bodega da Fontenelle, which had already been envisioned since 2021.
During a meeting with fellow artist friends, Antônia received an invitation to exhibit her artwork in a gallery in SoHo, the heart of Manhattan. That's when the idea came to unite two of her greatest passions: art and wine, since her labels are taken directly from her paintings. Now, the time has come to present her bottled artwork to the world.

Each label is inspired by my original paintings, creating a unique connection between art and wine.
