“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...

An Unforgettable Experience at ArtEXPO Paris 2024 October 24th, 2024 I am beyond grateful to have had the opportunity to showcase my artworks "Dignity", "Fortitude", and "Endurance" at the prestigious Galerie Agnes Nord as part of ArtEXPO Paris 2024. Sharing these pieces from the "Female Portraits: Looking Back to the Past" collection in such an inspiring city has been an incredible experience. Art is more than just an expression of creativity—it is a powerful lens through which we confront societal issues, inspire meaningful conversations, and envision solutions for a better future. Through my art, I aim to highlight the struggles and triumphs of individuals, giving voice to those who may otherwise go unheard. Pieces like "Dignity", "Fortitude", and "Endurance" are not just portraits of strength and resilience; they are reflections of the challenges women face in their journeys to reclaim identity, autonomy, and dignity. As artists, we hold the power to project possible futures—ones...

Art Dubai 2024 March 05th 2024 - by Séfora Camazano [caption id="attachment_1629" align="alignright" width="225"] Art Dubai Digital[/caption] In this article, I share my experiences and reflections on the unforgettable visit to the Art Dubai 2024 fair. Four years ago, I had a planned trip to Dubai that, unfortunately, was canceled due to lockdown restrictions. This cancellation left a void in my mind, longing for the experience that eluded me at that moment. Learning about the Art Dubai fair provided me with the opportunity to redeem that pending trip, and it turned out to be a wise decision. My visit not only focused on the fair but also allowed me to explore the local culture and visit iconic tourist spots such as the Burj Khalifa and the old center of Dubai with its picturesque Arabian shops. This broader focus on cultural experience made my journey much more enriching and meaningful. Art Dubai exceeded my expectations. Beyond traditional...
