ABOUT

You may have noticed that the two artists behind Studio Alão​ share a surname. Indeed, it's in the Studio's name itself. This is because they are a creative mother-and-son duo who collaborate in the broad mission of creating beautiful spaces. The difference between them is that while one works with transcendent emotion, the other works with physical tectonics.

​

In spirit, Studio Alão was founded by Nella in 1996 during the creation of her first works of fine art. With Rafael's arrival, his foray into the world of architecture, and a long-running revelation that creativity seems to run in the family, Studio Alão was given its official name in 2020 with the intention of reconnecting with our artistic lineage. Our logo is composed of the Alão coat of arms, recovered from a design of signet ring which has been produced for members of our family throughout generations.
