Lize Bartelli (b. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; lives and works in London) is a painter whose practice is rooted in colour theory and an exploration of feminine identity, which evolved from her academic studies in Philosophy at PUC in Rio de Janeiro (2008–2012) and Performance Art at CAL, Rio de Janeiro. She furthered her artistic background in Europe, completing a Master’s in Design at Marangoni in Milan (2012–2013) and studying Art History at Sotheby’s in London (2016–2017). Although Bartelli has been involved in creative practices for much of her life, she committed to painting professionally in 2020.

Represented since 2023 by Simoes de Assis in Brazil, herr work has gained significant recognition and has been featured in several prominent publications, including Veja São Paulo by Humberto Addo (2022), Architectural Digest by Kathryn Romeyn (2020), Les Nouveaux Riches Magazine by Daniel Lichterwald (2020), and Elle Decor (2020). Bartelli’s recent solo exhibitions include Skeleton’s Closet, Simoes de Assis, São Paulo (2022), curated by Julia Lima, and Mothering at Kupfer Project, London (2022), curated by Penelope Kupfer. She has also showcased her work at leading art fairs such as SP-Arte, São Paulo (2022), and Zonamaco, Mexico City (2024).
