🇬🇧 Project: The many nuances of love

About the project "As muitas nuances do amor" (The many nuances of love):

The project aims to create a series of artistic photographs linked to reflections on love. Without clichés, without images of couples or other common references. The deadline for its execution is from November 2024 to March 2025.

The main objective of this project is to create a series of artistic photographs created from reflections on love.

Specific objective: create a series of 52 photographic images.

Within this proposal, the project will be disseminated through permanent publications on my YouTube, Tiktok and Instagram profiles, shared on my profiles on other social networks, advertised in the media through public relations and advertising.

The project covers topics such as gender equality and respect for diversity, among others, when talking about the many nuances of love.

Resumé: Nycka Nunes (Vanessa Nunes)

Profile:

I am a visual artist, with a degree in advertising. I work with photography, painting on canvas, drawing, digital painting and digital drawing.

My interest in art began since childhood, but my family did not encourage it. It has been reinforced through my work as a stylist, emphasising personal image as a non-verbal communication tool. Art is also a tool of non-verbal communication. From that moment on, it was inevitable that I would pay more attention to art. I left my hometown looking mainly to expand my cultural and artistic repertoire. I've lived in four different cities so far.

Portuguese is my mother tongue. I also speak fluent English and Italian and basic Spanish.

Professional goals:

I want to improve myself as an artist and create more art using photography as my main tool, experimenting with how to use photography in ways that move away from realism and are more symbolic than literal.

Volunteer work experience:

This experience was helpful in improving my skills in using DSLR cameras, sometimes in challenging environments with horrible lighting, and I think I succeeded. No one ever complained about looking bad in the photos I took and most people were happy to see me at events and asked me to photograph them.
• Photographer in training, self-employed, Various cities • 2011-2011. I photographed a show by the Swedish band Evergrey in Curitiba and fashion events in Brazil (Fashion Rio, SPFW and Dragão Fashion).

About my artistic work:

At the link below there are 5 small images of my work, which show a little of my evolution as an artist.

https://www.nyckanunes.art/2024/05/as-muitas-nuances-do-amor-projeto.html

The first, titled “Coffee eye”, was my first work. I mixed digital drawing and photography. I finished it in February 2021. The next one, “Orchestra 1”, also mixes digital art and photography. It was completed in February 2023. None of them had a concept behind them. They were exercises in creativity. In the upper right corner is “People,” a work on diversity completed in June 2023, about people who know themselves deeply while others have less self-knowledge. Then, at the bottom left, is “The city,” which is about diversity in a broader perspective, including life in society, completed a few days later. The last image is “The light within”, which speaks of inner wisdom. Completed in November 2023. “The Many Shades of Love” wants to have a purpose like the last 3 images, and have photography as a main source like I have never done before (photographing events is very different from what I have in mind).

About the maecenasship:

For every eighteen thousand reais (Approximately three thousand and three hundred american dollars) donated by the same person or company, if the project reaches 100% of the feasibility goal (minimum cost) before September 15, the promoter (donor) will be entitled to a physical copy of one of the project images in a size defined by me. Packaging and shipping costs are the responsibility of the donor and must be paid separately. Each image will be limited to five physical copies. Whoever contributes first within this limit has the right to choose first and will have one business day to choose. After this period, priority is lost and the order of whoever chose first is applied. This benefit does not depend on whether the sponsor is a natural or legal person.

Benefits offered may be changed or eliminated at any time prior to the start of the project and will only be maintained for donors who have made their financial contribution prior to the change. The updated version is in this post, but I will try to keep all versions (languages) up to date.
