Séfora Camazano Receives the International Prize Renoir in Cannes September 15th, 2026 Art curator Francesco Saverio Russo presents Séfora Camazano with the International Prize Renoir – The Great Interpreter of Art in Cannes on September 12, 2026. On September 12, I had the honour of receiving the International Prize Renoir – The Great Interpreter of Art in Cannes, an international award recognising artistic merit, presented during a ceremony organised by Effetto Arte at the Juliana Cannes Hotel.Receiving an award bearing the name of Pierre-Auguste Renoir feels particularly meaningful to me. Light and the human figure are central to his work, and they have also long been at the heart of my own practice, although explored through a very different visual language and perspective.At the centre of my work are people and their stories. For several years, particularly through Female Portraits: Looking Back to the Past, I have worked with women who have lived...

Dignity presented at ART3F Monaco 2026 September 14h, 2026 From September 11 to 13, my work Dignity was presented at ART3F Monaco 2026, held at the Chapiteau de Fontvieille in Monaco.The work was shown in audiovisual format in the Effetto Arte space, as part of the programme surrounding the International Prize Renoir – The Great Interpreter of Art.Dignity is a mixed-media work measuring 128.5 × 87 cm and forms part of my series Female Portraits: Looking Back to the Past, a project in which I establish a contemporary dialogue with Joaquín Sorolla through the real stories of women living today.As with the other works in the series, Dignity began with a person and her story. My process does not start with a predefined concept for which I then look for a model. It begins with the encounter. From there, photography, digital painting, Fine Art printing and manual intervention gradually construct the final...

International Prize Caravaggio · Madrid May 6th, 2026 International Prize Caravaggio – Great Master of Art On May 5th, during a ceremony held at the Palacio de Santoña in Madrid, I had the honor of receiving the International Prize Caravaggio – Great Master of Art, awarded by art critics Salvatore Russo and Francesco Saverio Russo. This recognition distinguishes artistic trajectories built on merit, coherence, and a distinctive visual language. For me, receiving it in Spain carries special meaning: it is the first time I have been awarded this prize in the country where I have chosen to develop this stage of my life and work. The award comes at a moment when my projects are in full motion — Female Portraits: Migrants is currently in its fourth exhibition venue — and I receive it as a recognition not only of an aesthetic, but of a way of understanding art: as a process of research, as...

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...

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. In the vibrant artistic soul of New York City, I had the profound honor of receiving the international award “The New Great Masters in New York”, presented by the distinguished Fondazione Effetto Arte, based in Palermo, Italy. The ceremony was held at the Sanctuary at Church of the Ascension in Brooklyn, surrounded by a remarkable audience of collectors, journalists, fellow artists, and passionate art lovers. Standing there—hearing my name called—was both humbling and deeply emotional. In that moment, I felt the weight of every brushstroke I've ever painted, every story I’ve worked to tell, every silent voice I’ve tried to honor, and every portrait that carries a fragment of resilience. This recognition touches...
