Hi, I'm Giovana Birck

I’m Giovana Birck, a Brazilian emerging artist based in Vancouver, BC. My practice is guided by the conviction that everyday life holds more complexity than we allow ourselves to see. Across varied styles and formats, I create work that sharpens awareness of the moments we often overlook and reframes the ordinary as something intentional.

I see my work is deeply influenced by my background in spatial and experiential design. I love creating pieces that function as an encounter — a moment designed to interrupt routine, invite closer attention, and renew our relationship with our own space.

My goal is to create subtle but lasting shifts in perception by opening space for reflection.
