“Respect” by Séfora Camazano Exhibited at World Art Dubai 2025

“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...

This recognition touches...

Art Dubai 2024

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...
