Setor Cultural - Embaixada do Brasil - Sigurd Syrs gate 4 0244 Oslo - Norway Note from the publisher To edit an art book with international professional artists has been a great challenge and has required giving full attention to all participants. Therefore it was necessary to be in dialogue with everyone and get approval from everyone as the presentation was such that they wanted. As many of the artists only speak Portuguese, it was the leader of the association, Jiselda Salbu who did this work. However all artists supplied their text and CV translated to English language. During several months of work, we received photos of the artworks and pages with text that artists wanted to have in the book. Once the book is finished, we are proud of the result, perhaps not so much of the work we have done, but of all the wonderful artworks that are presented and all CV‘s of the professional artists who are now members of the organization. Artcom Expo International Association of Artists will do its utmost to promote this magnificent works. This is the foremost desire of the leader of the association, Jiselda Aparecida Salbu who do not consider the work completed when the book is released, but will continue by means of this tool and others, to make the participants more known and famous across borders and continents. She has 15 years experience in this work from Latin America and Europe. (www.brasilartist.no) This is the first book by the association to be launched in Europe in English language, and she believes that in the same way that she has promoted artists in Latin America, she will work hard to bring the artists to light their lights in Europe by means of the association, which now has more than 120 members from 14 different countries and a website that has had about 80 000 visits in six months at the end of May 2014. We would like to thank all the wonderful artists who have participated in this the book, and also we would like to thank all those who have supported the association in many ways since 2012. The Association will strive to conquer new barriers on behalf of all those who participated. On behalf of Artcom Expo InternationalAssociation of Artists Hans A. Salbu It is a privilege to Artcom Expo International Association of Artists to present - Artists Across Continents - at the XII International Arts and Cultural exchange VIII Awarded salon. I have been acting on behalf of culture since 2012 0704- as Director and Coordinator and representative forNorway and Latin America in good partnership with the cultural division of the Brazilian Embassy in Oslo. As a Brazilian and Norwegian citizen I feel honored of beeing able to influence and promote a good relationship between human beings through art. As a curator and organizator of culture-event for 14 years, I am proud to have been able to undertake another avantguard project in Europe. For me painting and literature always walked together. Since the beginning of my artistic activities I dreamed of making art a platform for awareness and recognition of young artists, sculptors, potters, artisans in general, writers and poets, musicians and singers. Making a platform of art for everyone in the quest to understand life and making a better future, by giving them the opportunity to be recognized and valued for their work. Since the beginning of my work I always tried to get a deeper insight in the development of international art, figurative or abstract, and tried to explore new spatial and structural possibilities of form and image in the twentieth century. Reflecting on the art - especially modern and contemporary these last centuries, can become an excessively complex exercise, so also the analysis of the artists and their works. Such a difficulty, in which succumb even the best critics, given the mosaic of concepts and the variety of opinions that can confuse more than to find the parameters to understand what is, or is not art, as well as being an artist.. Modernism is, of all arts, a style, a language, a code, a system of signs with rules and units of meaning, implying a worldview. Being modern, therefore, is to be in a time and space that promises adventure, power and growth, joy, transformation of yourself and the world around you. My intention today anyway, is mainly to use my forces and my experience in dissemination of art between Latin America, Europe and Scandinavia, a new horizon for the dissemination of works by artists and sculptors of talent in these countries. This exhibition in this excellent place in Oslo, at the Brazilian Embassy, during the Brazilian Cultural Week in Norway, is a dream came true for me, especially because Norway is my second homeland, which received me with open arms, giving me the oportunity to transforme my dreams into reality. As Coordinator and Director of Expo Artcom International Association of Artists, I want to thank the support and wonderful help from everyone who worked on this project: The Embassy of Brazil in Oslo, the president of the association Hans Arnt Salbu, and especially the artists living in other countries as: Brazil, Dubay, Italy, London, Norway, Portugal, Spain and Sweden.

THE CYCLE OF LIFE Released In São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Brazil Boituva SP Artwork Baloes, Balloons Technique:A.S.T Dimension: 50 x 60 Artist:Antonisia Schroder, Londres Biography Antonisia Schroder is an established and highly qualified artist, photographer and writer mostly working in London, UK, but having also exhibited elsewhere in Europe and South America. Born in the beautiful north-east of Brazil but of Portuguese and German heritage, Antonisia’s appreciation of beauty, multiculturalism and great art was nurtured from a young age and it was only a matter of time before her appreciation of her surroundings was also captured through her lens. Although photography was her first love and her main artistic outlet, she is a keen artist in the wider sense of the word and has done groundbreaking work in developing her own styles of ‘paintography’ and montage. She lived in many areas of South America in her childhood, giving her a taste for travel, which she took into her teenage and adult years. She has lived in Europe for more than 20 years, and has settled in England. She has achieved a National Diploma and Award in Photography and then attended the University of East London to gain a Bachelor’s Degree in Art and Photography. She is currently undertaking a Master’s Degree which she will complete later this year. This has helped her to develop an even keener sense of the important connections between art and literature and how each can inform the other. Her time at university encouraged her to begin writing books and this has brought her great success and enabled her to bring a new type of art to viewers which invites them into a magical, almost fantasy, multimedia world. She uses many inspirations to create her work, but has a particular love of the fairytale and likes to use fairytale principles at the centre of her creative pieces. She has, in addition, now published several fairytale-based books. Her other books include examinations of English culture (based around war remembrance and the 2012 Diamond Jubilee), books examining the connections between psychology and art, alongside touching emotional projects such as ‘Million Dollar Heart’. Her next exhibition will be in east London at the end of August 2014, which will involve her exhibiting ‘Walking in my Garden’, a project focusing on the connection between our fantasies and dreams and on how the English culture has an almost dreamlike obsession with its gardens. She has been running exhibitions over most of the last decade, but recent exhibitions have included two concurrent shows in Barnet, north London, at the end of 2013 which showcased some of her best and most creative work from the last three years. She was also one of the founding artists of the Thurrock Art Trail, part of the Essex Summer of Art, and was the first artist to run a solo exhibition at the new £3million Southend Pier Cultural Centre in October 2012. She was shortlisted for the Brazilian Press Awards in 2013, the award ceremony which awards the brightest young Brazilian talents in the creative industries across the world. Her plans for the future include a proposed exhibition in Fortaleza, Brazil, in 2015, and further additions to her series of fairytale books.

Cultural Institutions: State and was vice president of AAPLASG (RS), the AGAPA (RS), the group Artwork I:La Misucista Technique: Oil on canvas Dimension: 50 x 70 Artist:Valquiria Guillemin Imperiano, Valquiria was born in Brazil. She first saw the light of day in 1953 in a small coastal town in the northeast of the country, called João Pessoa. Eldest daughter of a large family, she spent all her childhood and adolescence in this region where the landscapes are filled with beauty. Was it the intensity of the light or the lovely sea which was her first source of inspiration? Whichever it was, she felt the need to capture these images from her earliest years; on paper first, and then on canvas, she painted the landscapes she loved. Her natural aptitude and her regular and assiduous work allowed her to progress quickly and improve her art. True to a figurative style, she gradually moved away from trying to create exact reproductions of landscapes, and instead introduced a wider concept to her art to communicate her emotions. Her extrovert, optimistic and cheerful mood are reflected within her paintings, which consist of an audacious mix of vivid colours and spontaneous strokes applied on to canvas with oil and acrylic paints. During her university studies, which led her to obtain a degree in Portuguese, she opened her eyes wider to literature. Since then she has expanded her professional practice to also include writing poetry, essays and short stories, enabling her to transfer what she felt in her soul onto paper. At first she kept these in a drawer while she continued with her passion for painting. Now she has opened that drawer and her written work has started to become known and get published. With a keen sense of observation, Valquiria Imperiano is able to incorporate all the most important creative elements into her art, giving colour and force to the subjects of her work. Her paintings and writings have a great complexity, greater than it appears at first glance, which enables the viewer to enjoy and interpret more and differently in accordance with their mood. In Switzerland since 1997, where she lives and is a naturalised citizen, she regularly participates in exhibitions. Her sculptures, which represent human bodies, are made with plaster, resin, bronze and terracotta and have met with critical acclaim. She has held or contributed to art exhibitions in Europe and Brazil. She is a member of Rebra (Network of Brazilian Writers) and is an academic of the Academy of Arts of Fortaleza. She has published texts in several anthologies: A Thousand Poems for Gonçalves Dias, Revenge 2, The 4th Poetic Anthology of PASC, Poetic Costumes, We Are Brazilian poems and tales, The 4th Anthology Clothesline, (Lindas Lendas Brsileiras) Beautiful Legends Brazilian and the To be a Brazilian Anthology. She will exhibit at a show being organized by the Cultural Section of the Embassy of Brazil in Oslo in September 2014.
