Who is Natália Marinho?

Natália Marinho was born in Teresina, Piauí, Brazil, in 1991. She has lived in Rio de Janeiro, Curitiba and currently lives in Lisbon, Portugal.

''A sensitive look at the world''

Born and raised among threads, fabrics and needles, it was only in 2019 that Natália discovered the free embroidery technique. Passionate about high relief, daisies and affective calligraphy, she seeks to deliver a piece of herself in her work, using sensitivity and delicacy as a form of expression as a starting point.

Undergraduate in Visual Arts and has already taken several free courses in creation, watercolor and embroidery. In 2023, she held her first solo exhibition and, in 2024, she participated for the first time in CASACOR Piauí.

She owns the Meio Fio Atelier brand (@meiofioatelier), which has become a teaching space where she offers an exclusive subscription to help other artists in their ventures, as well as courses, workshops and embroidery designs.

Natália developed her own technique for executing the Ponto Cheio com Alto Relevo and, with the aim of helping the work of other artists, she launched a course on Hotmart teaching her technique, which now has more than 500 students spread across Brazil and the world.

For many years, he dedicated himself to personalized projects and, at the end of 2023, after completing the course and feeling the need for new challenges, he decided to rediscover a desire that was close to his heart. With that, he began occasional exhibitions of his original works at Galeria Meio Fio.

Natália considers herself a sensitive person and seeks to bring this perspective of the world to her work. She seeks connection and believes that everything that is done with the heart is already destined to belong to someone. She considers herself an artist, craftswoman and embroiderer, with multiple interests, including in very different areas, but all of which lead to feeling and contemplation through the art of handmade work.

Meio Fio Gallery is an invitation to contemplate sensitivity and delicacy through hand embroidery. With specific collections, each piece displayed in the Gallery is a unique, exclusive, numbered and limited work of textile art. They represent a tangible piece of the beauty and sensitivity that Natália wishes to share with the world.
