She dreamed of becoming a mother and transformed pain into art: she created resin dolls to overcome the difficult moment and help other women

SAPO Notícias6 September 2026 at 10:17

Joana Brizida dreamed of being a mother, but faced a delicate moment in her life. To overcome this difficult phase, she decided to transform pain into art and created resin dolls that she called "As Marias." According to her, creating the dolls was a way to heal her heart and fill the void she felt.

The project "As Marias" was born from the artist's emotional need. Joana reports that, to deal with the absence of the dream of being a mother, she developed her own "daughters" in the form of resin dolls. The pieces represent a form of artistic expression that combines personal overcoming with creativity.

In addition to being an individual healing process, Joana also seeks to help other women who go through similar situations. The resin dolls have become a project that goes beyond art, serving as a symbol of hope and empowerment for women who face difficulties related to motherhood or overcoming painful moments.
