Berenice
"I was born in the state of Ceara, northeast Brazil, where I spent all of my childhood. I am a self-taught artist and I began to exhibit my work encouraged by my uncle Pedroso, a renowned naif artist. That was in 1977 and since then I've held numerous exhibits both in Brazil and abroad including Portugal, Germany, Ecuador, U.S.A. and Switzerland.
<br><br> "I prefer to paint Amazonian themes through a vibrant harmonization of colors, creating a flora and fauna characterized by the touch of my paint brush. I enjoy depicting traditional legends - they are true dreams that take us to a world filled with optimism. They inspire us to continue fighting for a better world.
<br><br> "Five of my paintings where chosen for illustration on telephone cards commemorating 500 years of the discovery of Brazil. This in turned helped promote my work throughout the country.
