Sol de Janeiro

Sol de Janeiro is a brand synonymous with the vibrant, non-judgmental spirit of Rio de Janeiro—the artist’s hometown. Rooted in the philosophy of "Sol" and a radical celebration of the individual, the brand captures the same warmth and infectious positivity that fuels the Barbtropolis universe.

For a series of exclusive global activations, the artist was invited to bring the metropolis to life through live painting performances. Using a palette derived entirely from flowers and plants, she customized Sol de Janeiro’s iconic forms in real time. These live interventions served as a homecoming, merging the artist’s Brazilian roots with the expansive visual language of her work. Together, they celebrate a shared heritage of togetherness and a deep, instinctual reverence for the natural world.
