Art in the Park

Japanese Bridge in Ibirapuera Park

Did you know that São Paulo city has the biggest Japanese community outside Japan? In the 1940s free land was given to Japanese immigrants, to stimulate growth and agricultural development.

The arched Japanese Bridge decorates São Paulo´s largest park - Ibirapuera - São Paulo´s answer to New York City´s Central Park.

It is a favorite spot for joggers, sweethearts and dogwalkers. Oh yes...and artists. I used to meet there with a four other artists every Wednesday morning to paint different corners of it. This is one of my favorite spots.

Most of the paintings on my blog are for sale.
