At the age of ten, Dulcinéa Brito started to paint urged by the passion and afterwards she was able to buy the related didactic material. In 1972 she moved to Rio de Janeiro and met Anna Maria Maiolino. This painter, realising Dulcinéa’s capacity, invited her to do a painting and a lithographic course at her studio, and then she worked at this studio till 1976. In the same year she moved to Italy for job and in 1978 went back to Rio, always in the same studio. From 1978 to 1979, she took part with her own paintings at collective art exhibitions. In 1979 she moved definitively to Italy. In 1981 she enrolled in the Fine Arts Academy, attending the Nude free school till 1983. In 1985 she got married and continued to paint and to be present at personal and collective art exhibitions, getting awards and achieving recognitions. In 1990 her son was born.

PAINTING STYLES AND TECHNIQUES

 Dulcinéa Brito has her own personal style, born as NAIF, making use of simple and emotive drawings, arriving to the graphic technique, in a greedy research that blends the colour to the shape and the shape to the movement, creating the colours in a simple and ingenuous way, in order to depict as magic the brazilian sun, portraying life, joy and sorrow of a people that turns the joy into its biggest strength.

 To portray all these feelings, she makes use of two techniques:

• oil painting or acrylic on canvas;
• Indian ink and pencil drawing on paper.
