Forte de Gragoata
Tuesday, October 8, 2013
Art Competition Award.
My work "Forte de Gragoata" was awarded acquisition prize at Forte de Copacabana Art Competition
Forte de Gragoatá -sandra nunes- oil on canvas 70 x 100cm
The creative Process:
The theme for the competition was "Forts and Fortress in Brazil and around the World"
I decided to focus my research in Rio de Janeiro state area as I wanted to work from the natural, not from photographs.
My choice was Forte de São Domingos de Gragoatá that is located on a rocky promontory in the bucolic district of Gragoatá in Niterói

Worldwide Paint Out - Rio de Janeiro 2012
Sunday, September 30, 2012
In conjunction with the 120th anniversary of Copacabana District celebrations , we decided to meet this year inside of the Fort and be inspired by that amazing view.
Gathering professional and amateur artists from various parts of the city and other states as well , Rio de Janeiro was appointed again by IPAP - International Plein Air Painters- as city with the highest number of artists gathered for this Pain Out!
Special thanks to our supporters: Brinc'art Stationery, Corfix Paints and Captain Roosevelt who kindly provided all the support needed for our meeting at the Fort be a success once more!
The wonderful Group
