...call it Abstracted Realism!
Naza is one of the stars of the international arts scene. Her abstract figurative style has been exhibited in major art galleries and museums in South, Central and North America, as well as in Europe. As the creator of the “Abstracted Realism” concept, Naza sets in motion an unrivaled interplay of lines and forms as she creates her famous cosmic windows.
Her art is unprecedented in style. This Brazilian American Artist’s studio is in South Florida, but she travels frequently to attend the high demand for her commissioned work. Naza's abstract art is part of several important collections of World Leaders, entertainment celebrities, major corporations, and the who’s who of the international Jet Set, including President Bill Clinton, President Fernando Henrique Cardoso, The Ayrton Senna Institute, Ivana Trump, Brigitte Bardot, The West Point Academy, Bank of Brazil, Jet Blue Airlines, Varig Airlines, TAM Airlines, EMBRAER, Countess De Hoernle, Ambassador Diego Asencio, Emerson Fitipaldi, and The Florida Marlins.
Since an early age, she showed her talent to paint figurative art. After mastering her technical skills to paint the human figure in the traditional way, Naza developed her unique abstract figurative style, which became known as “Abstracted Realism”, which is different from the then existing trend called Abstract Realism.
Her art skills, her talent, and her to excellence her business ethics have made her one of the most famous modern portrait artists in the World. ”Artist self portrait” has been a constant subject of some enquiries about Naza’s oil portraits, since her 1994 self portrait has become one of her most published works on the international press.
Some of Naza’s favorite subjects are wild cat art and bird fine art (parrot art), among other endangered species. However, she only started painting wild animal art in 1994, at her Boca Raton studio. According to the Artist, producing wildlife wall art and donating part of it to environmental organizations is her way to help save the environment.

I am infatuated with the way opposite views interact. I chose to oppose abstraction versus realism to convey that thought.
Some times I start the painting with a completely abstract approach and work towards making certain elements resemble recognizable objects, events, or living beings. Other times I start from the opposite direction: I quickly paint a very realistic image, and, before it dries, I abstract it. In both approaches, I follow nothing but my own deep feelings. The idea is to paint not only a certain subject, but also what is happening to it, how it influences its environment, and how it is influenced by it. Thus each painting is like an event.
I like to think of the different areas of the final artwork as living elements that are part of the whole. They are acting, interacting, complementing or opposing each other, anyway, living.
Most of the apparent texture of the final work is an illusion. It is not as tri-dimensional as it looks. The actual texture of the canvas is insignificant. What one sees is a lot of contrast of light and dark, which gives the painting this appearance. Due to the transparent effects that I achieve with the medium, my oils have the vibrancy of watercolors.
I propose to paint about any subject, as long as I am allowed the freedom to follow my own emotions. To me, being an Artist means being free to be emotional about a subject.
ABOUT ART:
Only Artists can really pass to the future generations what the deep inner reality of their own generation really is. Each piece of true artwork caries something like a photo or a film of the emotions of the Artist, which were based on the environment in which that artist lived, including his views of the World, his/her feelings, as well as the views and feelings of society as a whole. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANT MY ART TO ACHIEVE.
