🇬🇧 Interview with Nycka Nunes - Part 1

Where did you grow up? Did that influence how you became the artist you are nowadays? I was born in Montes Claros - MG (Brazil), a city wit...

Maecenasship (July 2025)

I am a visual artist and I'm fundraising to achieve some professional goals. I have been working as a visual artist since 2021 and I chose to create my own paths in art to align my professional trajectory with my personal goals. To learn more about my career, read my LinkedIn profile and contact me if you want any further relevant information.

If you want to be part of it, being my maecenas, send me an email and I'll tell you the bank account data for donations. I can receive donations in American dollars, Euros, Yen, Swiss Francs, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, Pound sterling and Brazilian reais. E-mail: nycka@nyckanunes.art

Companies and self-employed professionals also can support my work promoting their brands and products through sponsorship, as described below.

Your contribution is very important.


Available opportunities:

Sponsorship for the development of the "Anima" project

The project's theme is linked to self-knowledge based on connection with nature. The most important part for sponsors is that the creative process includes trips and regular posts with questions that generate reflection on the theme and will show the beauty of different places, through the photographer's points of view. This project will result in works of art that will begin to be exhibited at the end of the period.

For companies linked to tourism (airlines, hotels, restaurants, etc.), it is an opportunity to attract more customers interested in a unique perspective on each destination they visit.

For other companies, it is the opportunity to showcase their products related to the photographer's lifestyle, products that she has the opportunity to use during her travels or at home.

All companies can also sponsor the project by having their name in the credits of the creative process videos, without including products or services in the offer. This option is interesting as a branding strategy and strategic positioning.

In all cases, for companies looking for new branches or new franchisees, sponsorship opens doors to these opportunities as well.

And the greatest benefit of all is seeing art by a professional with a great repertoire, who wants to radically transform her photography portfolio, come to life and conquer the world. Certainly the greatest motivator for those who appreciate art.

The project is expected to last fifteen months, and the values ​​below are valid for investments made up until July 25th.

For production to begin, it is necessary to obtain sponsorships to cover the costs of the project. The start is currently scheduled for September, with equipment acquisition in August. These dates will be postponed if sponsorships are not sufficient to cover the initial costs.

In the months following the start of the project, sponsorship categories with available spaces will continue to accept sponsorship for a smaller number of videos and a proportionally larger investment than was made before the project began.


Sponsorship categories:

    • Presents sponsorship: The sponsor's name will be included in the credits at the beginning of each video in the format "(Sponsor) presents:". Only one sponsor is accepted.
    • Premium Sponsorship: The name of the sponsor will appear after the video introduction, preceded by the phrase “Premium sponsor(s):”. Up to 5 sponsors are allowed in this category. The presentation format will be all the names of the sponsoring companies in this category on the same screen.
    • Supporter Sponsorship: The sponsor's name will be displayed in the video's closing credits, preceded by the expression "Supporters:” This category has no limit on sponsors.
    • Sponsorship that includes products: All categories may or may not include products, but the value of the products will not be deducted from the sponsorship fee amount. Brands that opt ​​for “Presents" or "premium" sponsorship and include products will have their name included at the beginning of the end credits of the videos in which their products are used, where the acknowledgments and products offered will be listed. Supporter sponsorship brands that include products will be included just below, followed by simple sponsorship brands that do not include products. Product shipping costs and import taxes, if applicable, will be the responsibility of the sponsor. Each product will be featured in just one video, so in the remaining videos in the series the brand will have the normal benefits of the sponsorship category it has chosen.
    • Donations: The project accepts donations and these are very important for its implementation. At the end of the credits there will be a thank you to the donors, without mentioning names.

At least 28 videos will be published by the time the project is completed. All videos will remain active on this blog even after the creative process is over. They will also be published or linked on my social media profiles to increase reach, taking into account the target audience of each profile and their interest in the video's topics.


Investment for each sponsorship category (Values ​​in reais/BRL):

    • Presents sponsorship: R$800.000,00 (eight hundred thousand reais/BRL) or USD160,000 (one hundred and sixty thousand US dollars).
    • Premium sponsorship: R$700.000,00 (seven hundred thousand reais/BRL) or USD 140,000 (one hundred and forty thousand US dollars).
    • Supporter sponsorship: R$380.000,00 (three hundred and eighty thousand reais/BRL) or USD 80,000 (eighty thousand US dollars).

Companies that want to offer larger amounts can contribute through sponsorship and donation.

To sponsor the project in other currencies, please contact me. The amount (in another currency) informed by email will be valid for the day I send the information and may be changed for contracts closed on other dates due to exchange rate variations and fees for receiving sponsorships in foreign currencies. Sponsorship fees in other currencies must cover the costs of converting the payment to reais. The net amount I should receive must be equal to or slightly higher than the amount companies pay in Brazilian currency.

Surplus funds raised will be used to cover variable costs that may arise up to the date of purchase, to print the images and to do some additional promotion of the project before the exhibitions begin.

If variable costs are greater than the amount raised, changes may occur in the plans without affecting the benefits for sponsors.

"Presents" and "Premium" sponsors can submit high-resolution files with their brand image for inclusion in the videos, if they wish. Otherwise, the brand names will be included with the default font I use on the blog. Low resolution files will also be replaced with the company name in my default font.

On the blog, I will include links to the sponsors' website or main social network in the video posts and in the sidebar, following the same order as the video.


Values ​​valid for contracts closed until July 25, 2025. Payment symbolizes agreement with all terms stated on this page.


Accepted ways to receive sponsorship and donations: bank transfer (including PIX for brazilians).

I do not refund donations. Sponsorships may be partially refunded if the project does not obtain sufficient funds to cover all costs of the sponsored stage within the six-month period, and this necessarily results in the interruption of the project. Without complete interruption, there will be no partial refund.


To become a sponsor, please contact me via email.

For customized proposals, ask a business meeting visiting the "Services" page. The above project is my artistic goal at the moment and so the proposals are concentrated on it, but I can prepare different proposals for sponsorship of my painting and drawing work.
