Bruno Novelli is a Brazilian painter who studied graphic design at the Atelier Livre da Prefeitura de Porto Alegre and the Escola Superior de Propaganda e Marketing of São Paulo (ESPM).

Novelli's vibrant psychedelic compositions are often strongly inspired by popular cultures as well as ancient Amazonian myths. His work feature fantastical animals and dreamlike tropical panoramas that are carefully crafted with colourful geometric motifs. The artist draws his inspiration from an imaginary forest, which he transforms into a luxurious entangled organic entity made up of varied landscapes, flora and fauna. This theme enables him to make use of highly diverse styles and symbolic referents, from the chimeras of medieval frescoes to the representational forms of landscapes used in many types of Asian art. The result is a veritable ode to vegetal tones.
