The artists represented by BrasilArts were not chosen solely because of their national origins. Each artist possesses a singular and unique style. Each is an accomplished artist in his or her own right, standing as a compelling example of the Brasilian modern school.

About the Founder

BrasilArts was founded by Mara Carli, a Brasilian who has lived in the United States for twenty-five years. A native of
São Paulo, Mara grew up surrounded by the arts. Her father encouraged an appreciation of the arts in his children, and
her brother, Luiz Guido, is a talented artist and musician.

Following a relocation to Tampa in 1999, Mara became acquainted with the powerful portraits of Brasilian Indians by Andre Luiz Miranda. She realized that he had an extraordinary talent that should be represented and promoted in the U.S. That initial representation led to new connections with other artists. Over the past two years, BrasilArts has grown to represent a dozen artists. The firm has gained recognition as
a significant source of art works by the contemporary artists
of São Paulo and Mato Grosso.
