L. Ferraz

"I was born in Rio and developed my interest in arts parallel to my professional activity as an architect. At first I worked with watercolors, moving later to oil on canvas, painting realistic portraits, landscapes and seascapes.

"I am a self-taught artist with a good omen in my stars, as I won the gold medal in the III Salão de Artes da ARTEC in 1991.

"My participation in exhibits resulted in a number prizes, of which I consider most important the gold medal awarded in the V Brazilian Art Exhibition at the Roodeport Museum in Johannesburg, South Africa (1996). My most recent exhibition was in the Galeria Tarsila do Amaral, in the Estácio de Sá Cultural Center in 2003.

"Currently I have come back to painting with acrylic. My passion for watercolors, however, led me to use them as thin solutions and in solutions with textures, and thus the Deep Sea series was born."
