BIOGRAPHY
Nobre’s artistic voice is distinctly her own. Her works embody elegance, delicacy, and depth, carrying a sense of the past while remaining contemporary. Through her exploration of cultural motifs and fantastical elements, she creates art that is both mysterious and tranquil, where every detail speaks to an enduring sense of beauty.
Inspired by mythology, folklore, and the subtle beauty of everyday moments, Nobre’s work delves into themes of femininity, transformation, and introspection.

Serene gazes and poised postures whisper tales of strength and vulnerability, inviting you into a world where quiet power resides beneath delicate elegance.
Sandra Elisabeth Nobre was born 1987 in Sweden but are now living and working fulltime as an artist in Southwest of Portugal. Her passion for art started early, but her career gained momentum when she launched her own clothing brand, “Kan Dee.” By printing her artwork on t-shirts, she quickly gained popularity both in Sweden and internationally, with her designs worn by celebrities and models. She also won a prestigious design competition that supported breast cancer research, with her winning design contributing funds to the cause. After several successful years in the fashion industry, Nobre made the decision to fully dedicate herself to painting. Transitioning from clothing design to large-scale canvases, she has since focused exclusively on her art, becoming a full-time artist.
Working primarily with acrylics, Nobre builds up layers of paint and silk paper, creating a richly textured base that brings depth to each piece. Her palette is composed of soft, muted, and earthy tones, which provide a subtle backdrop for the shimmering gold accents that have become a signature of her work. These golden details add a sense of luminosity and intrigue, catching the light in unexpected ways. Patterns, arches, and architectural elements often emerge throughout her compositions, lending a sense of structure and balance, while symmetry subtly reinforces the harmony within the intricate worlds she creates.
"I want to assure to my collectors that when buying an original painting from me, they will receive something unique, heartfelt, and filled with the essence of my creative journey. Where every inch of the painting, every brush stroke, is a testament to my dedication and commitment to delivering not just art, but a tangible piece of quality and value that resonates with not only the soul of myself but the soul of my collector."
