É dition S péciale - 5 ème année A u C arrousel du L ouvre
Foreword
”Art says the unspeakable, expresses the inexpressible and
translates the untranslatable”.
Leonardo da Vinci.
Art is a really important way to connect people,
without any prejudice none physical or intellec-
tual borderlines and it is not a coincidence if we
grant the artists the freedom to say, to express
and to transmit in their works all they are thin-
king and feeling.
Concerning the artists, when they are producing a
work, they are doing it for the collectivity or for its
"owner", and in this last case, many times, those
recipients are far beyond the studios ´walls or the
artist personal universe. It´s in this context that I
greet the herculean work that Heloiza Azevedo
has been carrying out all along those last years to
permit the realization of those sophisticated and
moving meetings between the "Art Work" and its
”owner”.
One more time, Heloiza Azevedo, already renow-
ned for her long trajectory to promote the artists
and her infallible curator´s look, has been showing
us her professionalism, through her way to accom-
plish her mission and to manage this challenge. In
every Guide I had the privilege to preface, I percei-
ved the significance of her implication and tenacity
to allow the artists impose their talent and open
them the doors of the International Art Market.
In this special edition, Brazilian Artists are joining
their brothers coming from Africa to present their
works, their different techniques and styles. You
will find it: paintings, engraving, water colors, col-
lages, photographs, sculptures sprouting from
those protagonists of beauty and highlighting not
only each artist Art Work but also the freedom
expression shout and the esthetics implication of
all of them.
I will thanks again Heloiza Azevedo, the organizer
and curator of this exhibition to have granted me
the great privilege to preface, for the 5th conse-
cutive year, this International Contemporary Art
Guide and to give me the opportunity to participa-
te, through the Heclectik Art Gallery, to this very
significant event that will happen at the prestigious
Carrousel du Louvre, platform of great international
happenings that allows the connection in between
the artists, the collectors and the whole public.
Dear Artists impose yourselves in Paris, this lights
sanctuary is yours !!!
