April 18, 2023 Tattoo therapy: el impacto emocional de los tatuajes
"Memória, afeto e identidade. Esse é o tripé que harmoniza o trabalho da Clari Benatti. A artista de 41 anos transforma experiências de vida e acontecimentos marcantes em tatuagens e ilustrações carregadas de simbolismo e significados. Com um processo criativo 100% autoral e exclusivo para cada cliente, Clari Benatti adotou um estilo mais limpo e suave como sua marca registrada.
Em 2019, teve uma oportunidade e tomou uma grande decisão de fechar seu espaço no Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, o Atelier Studio BenArtti, onde era sócia e fundadora para se mudar com a família (marido e filho) para Portugal.
Atualmente tatua em um espaço privado e acolhedor na cidade da Póvoa de Varzim, distrito do Porto. Há 4 anos em Portugal a Clari teve que recomeçar e conquistar um novo público já que no Brasil sua carreira já era consolidada, ficou conhecida por utilizar a técnica do fineline com maestria no universo da tattoo ressignificando experiências na pele.
Antes de mergulhar de cabeça na carreira de tatuadora, Clari acumulou uma expertise de 10 anos como designer nas áreas de moda, publicidade e eventos. Ser tatuadora era um desejo antigo, pois diferente do design gráfico, é uma profissão que a permite imprimir sua identidade artística sem tanta interferência externa. Em contrapartida foi através do design, cuja interpretação dos briefings era uma prática rotineira, que a artista desenvolveu a sensibilidade e uma capacidade insuperável de traduzir sentimentos e emoções que dão vida às suas artes."
