Just Kidding

Sônia Menna Barreto

Bio

Born in São Paulo, Brazil. In 1980 she began studying at the studio of Luiz Portinari (Cândido Portinari’s brother), in the Cândido Portinari Art Center in São Paulo. For the first time ever, the artistic work of a Brazilian was made a part of the British Royal Collection in October, 2002. This is one of the most important art collections in the world. The painting “Leonard Cheshire” by Sônia Menna Barreto was presented at a ceremony at Buckingham Palace.

Statement

I’m an artist on the quest for beauty and knowledge. Nowadays I can consider myself as a multimedia artist, with works ranging from oil on linen on masonite, to drawings with china ink and golden leaf, ceramics, porcelain painting and porcelain sculptures and the bronze sculptures that I’m exhibiting at Pinta Art Fair this year. The search for new medias and forms to express my art is the path that I follow to make it more and more exquisite and exclusive.
