I was inspired to paint Moroccan Girl by of all things a song from the 1960s called “The Girl from Ipanema”. It was a really popular song at the time and was considered very sophisticated and cool. I decided it was time to reinvent that spirit of cool Brazilian sophistication in the form of Moroccan Girl. The colours chosen for the collection are vibrant, hot and reflect the mountains, deserts and intriguing cities of North Africa.
