Freedom: The Art of Remembering Who You Are January 22nd 2026 Buy the Book After the artistic project Female Portraits: Looking Back to the Past, I decided to write my first book.A book born from one of the most iconic works in the collection: Liberty. This book did not emerge as a planned editorial project.It was born from an artwork.From a real story.And from a deep need for reflection. Freedom: The Art of Remembering Who You Are begins with the portrait of Maryury, a woman who lived through an experience of violence and rebuilt her life from dignity. Her story appears in the book in her own words, without softening what was hard or turning pain into spectacle. But this book is not only her story. From it, Freedom opens a broader reflection on life, consciousness, and the way we inhabit the world. On how fear, control, and self-censorship take root—sometimes without us realizing it—in the...

Receiving the Poseidon International Art Award in Venice

Receiving the Poseidon International Art Award in Venice December 4th 2025 On November 29, 2025, I received in Venice the Poseidon International Prize – The King of Laguna, awarded by the Fondazione Effetto Arte, at the Scuola Grande di San Teodoro. It was an important moment for me, not only because of the recognition itself, but because of everything it represents after so many years of work. In recent years, my path as a contemporary artist has been closely linked to telling real stories: identity, migration, resilience, and memory. For me, aesthetics are important, but only when they are joined to meaning, emotion, and story. Projects such as Female Portraits: A Look at the Past and Female Portraits: Migrants were born from this vision, and today some of these works are part of private collections. But for me, the greatest rewards come when a collector or an art lover wants to acquire one of...

Opening of “Female Portraits: Migrants” in Alboraya October 4th, 2025 On October 2nd, I had the pleasure of inaugurating my photographic exhibition “Retrats Femenins: Migrants” (Female Portraits: Migrants) at the Casa de Cultura of Alboraya. This very special project continues its journey, opening to the public for the third time, after being exhibited for ten months at the Museum of the History of Valencia and later at the Ibercaja Actur Center in Zaragoza. Each new opening represents, for me, an opportunity to continue giving voice to the women who are part of this work — courageous women from different countries and cultures who have faced difficult and complex realities in their migratory journeys. Through their portraits, and their own personal photographs, I aim to offer an honest and deeply human perspective on female migration, addressing a highly relevant issue with sensitivity and empathy. Migration is a global phenomenon that continues to shape the direction...

Receiving the International Prize “Artists on the French Riviera” September 19th, 2025 On September 12, in the beautiful city of Nice, I had the profound honor of receiving the prestigious International Prize “Artists on the French Riviera,” awarded by the Fondazione Effetto Arte, at the Musée National du Sport. This recognition marks the third international award for artistic merit in my career, and I am filled with gratitude and reflection as I share this moment. Being in Nice, a city that has inspired countless painters as Pablo Picasso, Renoir, Monet, Matisse and Chagall with its light, colors, and vibrant atmosphere, was an experience that touched me deeply. Walking through its streets, feeling the gentle rhythm of the Mediterranean, and witnessing the way the sun transforms every surface reminded me of why I create: to capture the beauty, the struggles, and the resilience of the human spirit. For this edition of the prize, I chose...

“Respect” by Séfora Camazano Exhibited at World Art Dubai 2025 April 17th 2025 I am pleased to announce that my artwork “Respect” is currently being exhibited at World Art Dubai 2025, one of the leading international contemporary art fairs in the Middle East. The piece is on view at the Fondazione Effetto Arte booths (DB06, E06, E01, DB01) located in Za'abeel Hall 2 of the Dubai World Trade Centre. This powerful portrait is part of my ongoing series highlighting female resilience and the human capacity to overcome trauma. Based on real testimonies, Respect tells the story of Lourdes, a woman who survived over three decades of psychological abuse in a seemingly “perfect” marriage, and Rosa, a survivor of childhood sexual abuse who transformed her trauma into strength, becoming a psychologist to help others heal. By bringing these deeply personal yet universal stories to an international platform like World Art Dubai, I seek to raise awareness...

Honored with “The New Great Masters” Award in New York April 8th 2025 Sandro Serradifalco, president of Fondazione Effetto Arte, and Séfora Camazano April 4th will forever remain etched in my heart as one of the most meaningful days of my life.

This recognition touches...

"Female Portraits: Looking Back to the Past" Opens in Bétera to Commemorate the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women November 8th, 2024 The exhibition "Female Portraits: A Look at the Past" opened yesterday in the iconic building of the Old Town Hall of Bétera (Vell Ajuntament de Bétera - Calle Mayor, 12). This exhibition, created by the Spanish-Brazilian artist Séfora Camazano, brings together 25 powerful portraits of women of different ages, cultures, and backgrounds who, at some point in their lives, have faced violence or injustice, leading them to transform their destinies. Inspired by the style and social commitment of the renowned Spanish painter Joaquín Sorolla, Séfora pays tribute to the women depicted, presenting them with dignity and elegance. Her work draws from Sorolla's legacy in the centenary year of his passing, acknowledging the Valencian master for his pioneering role in depicting women in everyday life and various cultural contexts.
