Nayu (short for Nayubel Chavarria) is a dynamic artist who has been creating for the past six years. Drawing inspiration from the richness of life, she plays with shapes and color in a way that is uniquely her own. Acrylic is her medium of choice, perfectly complementing her energetic style. For Nayu, art is about the joy it brings to others. The happiest moments for her are when people react with excitement to her work. But like all artists, she also faces the occasional creative block, though she says challenging days sometimes lead to the best pieces. One of her most meaningful works was created during a difficult time when her mother passed away, naming it “What takes you away, sometimes gets you closer”—a piece that holds deep significance for her. Living in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, for over 20 years, Nayu is deeply connected to her roots. She embraces the pura vida lifestyle and expresses that joy through her art. Whether she’s painting all day with a glass of wine, enjoying good music, or spending time with family and friends, she strives to bring that same sense of happiness and creativity into her work. Nayu hopes to continue finding clients who resonate with her artistic language, and she’s dedicated to helping improve the cultural scene in her area, aiming to bring first-world art to her cherished community.
