Expo4Art Paris 2026
From May 29 to 31, I had the pleasure of exhibiting my work at Expo4Art Paris, held at the Halle des Blancs-Manteaux in the heart of the Marais district.
The exhibition attracted visitors from France and around the world, resulting in the sale of Verão Carioca, two new painting commissions, and several promising professional contacts.
Over three inspiring days, I shared my vibrant vision of Brazil through paintings celebrating Rio de Janeiro, carnival, tropical nature, beaches, and everyday life. The response from visitors was truly encouraging, with many returning several times to discover the stories and textures behind the paintings.
One of the greatest pleasures of Expo4Art was meeting visitors from France, Brazil, the United States, Australia, South Africa, Sweden, Argentina, Israel, Greece, and many other countries. The conversations, enthusiasm, and interest in my work made the exhibition especially memorable.
One of the highlights of the exhibition was the sale of Verão Carioca, a large palette-knife painting inspired by the joyful atmosphere of Rio's beaches. The fair also led to two new painting commissions — a Pantanal scene and a beach painting.
Thank you to everyone who visited my stand, shared kind words, and made this exhibition such a memorable experience.
Thank you, Paris — and see you soon.
