About[]
Drag Race Brasil Season 1[]
Aquarela is a drag queen from Minas Gerais who seeks to deliver versatility in her montages and performances. Due to an exaggerated look, Aquarela is seen as a "gourmet clown," a trait apparent through stunning makeup and an unpredictable personality.[5]
Drag Name Origin[]
Aquarela is the Portuguese word for watercolor. During a class of History of Art, her teacher was introducing painting techniques and explained the watercolor painting, which became the reason for the name.[6]
