Séfora Camazano Receives the International Prize Renoir in Cannes

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...

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 international prize “Artists on the French Riviera”

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...
