Nanci Brito was born in Rio de Janeiro on 27 June. Her studies in the arts began with teacher and artist Jô Grassini in São Gonçalo, Rio de Janeiro, where she has participated in exhibitions at SESC (Serviço Social do Comércio) and in the House of Vila Real Arts since 2005. The geometrization and contrasting colors are trademarks of the artist's work, which uses various techniques in her paintings. Its theme is geared towards a poetics full of lyricism and everyday life, which shows dense aspects of contemporaneity delicately, which refers the observer on a dreamlike narrative, though questioning the State of things in which you live. By Oswaldo Eurico Rodrigues, teacher and visual artist

avelina sánchez-carpio
fine artist spain
www.sanchezcarpio.com “…I had immediately recognized Avelina's work of art from the rest, not so much because of its preference location, but for the sizes she chose for her work: aprox. 0,80 x 1,00). These are sizes where other artists would only place half a painting (generally speaking Velázquez). No one could have expressed any better the faded away, torn with white over pathetic background, but still challenging, reflecting the artist's last work of anger. Goya already gives us an example at the end of his days. The socalled black-paintings are the most revealing for Goya himself. And from here he is one step away from the “Monstrosities” (with all respect) that ART has produced during XX century”. Prizes
