Girassol azul (2006) Painting by Lucienne Dumay

The artist Dumay, whose email address is luciennedumay@yahoocombr, has been involved with environmental preservation and animal care since she was a child. Of Swiss-French descent, he lives in a native reserve of the Atlantic Forest, a national park and daily lives with animals in their natural habitat.
That is why the influence of nature and the animals that he portrays and reproduces in his work is remarkable.
The ecologically correct and natural techniques used are naif painting, on canvas, vinyl, wood and clay and papier-mâché sculptures.
In the sculptures, he seeks to use native and recycled materials.
The color, the childish side and the purity of the enchantment are stamped in her pieces.
It has a small gallery in the Penedo region, an old colony of Finnish immigrants. The name couldn't be more appropriate: it's the Petite Gallerie, which brings together the work of naive artists and sculptors of papier-mâché, clay and ceramics. The photographs are all of animals and nature, the significant mandalas translate a language of color and spirituality. Tapestries portraying the magical and esoteric universe serve as frames for the other works. Visit the petitegalerie and Orkute to learn more about the artists' work.
