ABU DHABI, UAE – Spanish-Brazilian multidisciplinary artist Séfora Camazano has reached a new milestone in her rising international career after receiving the International Award “Poseidon – The King of Laguna,” presented by the Fondazione Effetto Arte. The ceremony took place on November 29, 2025, at the historic Scuola Grande di San Teodoro, one of Venice’s most iconic venues, before an exclusive audience of collectors, journalists, and art-world leaders.
Inspired by the figure of Poseidon—an enduring symbol of Venetian identity and its intimate connection with the sea—this award honors creators distinguished by profound research, stylistic excellence, and a contemporary vision. Camazano embodies this ideal, with work that weaves dialogues between cultural heritage, collective memory, and the challenges of the present.
A visionary committed to the transformative power of art
With more than two decades of experience, Séfora Camazano has developed a unique visual language that integrates photography, digital techniques, and painterly elements to explore themes such as identity, resilience, and memory. Far from following fleeting trends, her work seeks to spark deep conversations and emotional connection.
Landmark projects such as Female Portraits: A Look at the Past—exhibited in Spain and Switzerland—and the touring series Female Portraits: Migrants, featuring 30 portraits of women from 15 countries, have cemented her reputation as a vital voice in socially engaged art, capable of bringing real stories to light and encouraging thoughtful reflection.
“Portraits of the Soul”: a bridge between the sacred and the human
In her current creative phase, Camazano is developing Portraits of the Soul: Transfiguration, an ambitious project that links biblical narratives with contemporary human experiences. Through an innovative, aesthetic, and accessible lens, the project reveals parallels between ancient challenges—transformation, ethical dilemmas, and resilience—and the lives we navigate today, inviting viewers to rediscover the timeless relevance of these stories.
A rising trajectory in the global art scene
With exhibitions across multiple countries, works held in private collections, and an approach that blends rigorous research, sensitivity, and social commitment, Séfora Camazano stands out as one of the most influential artists of her generation. She will soon release her first book, a publication that brings together her key visual projects and offers an intimate perspective on her creative process, expanding the reach of her universal narratives.
“This award inspires me to delve deeper into the connections between history, identity, and personal transformation. Art remains my way of giving voice to those who deserve to be heard,” the artist states.
