“ The Art Prize is open to works in any genre, and on any theme, however, we are particularly interested in works that reflect upon our ever changing world.

Previous exhibitions have posed larger questions about what it means to exist in a digitised, post-industrial landscape, as well as the effects of over-consumption, media stimulation, globalisation, and the climate crisis. We are looking for pieces that challenge us – that redefine the parameters of contemporary art and compel audiences to connect with one another. 

Works previously exhibited and published elsewhere are accepted.

Biography: Cesar Vianna

Cesar Vianna is a multi-task Canadian / Brazilian professional artist, he is a member of the International Association of Visual Artists (IAVA). He comes from the city of Sao Paulo (where he studied design and architecture).

For several years he taught how to draw and art history. He arrived at Canada in 2012, where he obtained another degree in Visual Arts at Laval University. He has lived and works in Rouyn-Noranda, province of Quebec, since 2014.

Among his multiple skills, the most important is illustration. Also, he has skills in photography, acrylic painting, watercolor, screen printing, lithography, linocut, wash-off, scratchboard and wood burning. His work is very eclectic. In his journey, he tries to explore the different techniques and his principal strength is the illustration. He draws with pencils, brushes, wood burners, tools and graphic tablet. His goal is to impact the public with his art.

His work is at times realistic, at others surreal / abstract. The artist seeks the perfection of images from the classical past combined with the attitude and abstraction of contemporary arts. The nature and complexity of human forms are its sources of inspiration. He loves to draw and he has a particular interest to combine traditional and digital techniques. Since 2013 he has participated in several individual and group exhibitions in Canada (Quebec), in Italy, in England and in the USA (New York). Also, he won prizes at drawing and photography competitions.
