 Brazilian fine art stands out for enhancing the beauty of the  Goiás's Cerrado region 



Mariah Campolina is a fine art with a strong presence in Brasília's cultural scene, recognized for her intense and almost visceral dedication to representing the Cerrado biome. In her work, nature appears not only as landscape, but as a living, pulsating, and deeply respected element. Her painting stems from a radical connection with the natural environment, revealing a sensitive and committed gaze towards the organic essence of the earth, the leaves, the flowers, and the colors that define the biome.
In portraying the Cerrado, Campolina works with subtlety and delicacy in each stroke, constructing compositions that impress with their harmony between impressionism and realism. Her canvases seem to breathe, leading the viewer to an almost sensory experience, in which it is possible to feel the texture of the vegetation, the light that passes through the branches, and the silent force of nature. Those who observe her art often find themselves in a moment of profound contemplation, as if time slowed down before the beauty presented. Her organic work translates respect for life and the Brazilian landscape, transforming simple elements of the Cerrado into grand and moving scenes. With a striking and sensitive style, Mariah Campolina doesn't just paint nature—she reveals it in its most poetic form, leaving the audience breathless before the intensity and beauty that emerge from each canvas.

BLACK SOUL ALIVE 2026: ITINERANT EXHIBITION CELEBRATES AFRO-BRAZILIAN POWER IN BRASÍLIA

Brasília, February 2025 – Curated by artist Paulo Melo, the exhibition “Black Soul Alive” begins its tour of the federal capital in 2026, bringing an urgent and necessary dialogue about identity, ancestry, and representation through contemporary art. Featuring new works by 26 Brazilian artists, the show will travel to three important cultural spaces in the Federal District, establishing itself as a landmark in the appreciation of Black artistic production in the region.


The exhibition opens on February 5, 2026, at the LBV Gallery, where it will remain until February 28. In March, it moves to the Arte em Pauta Gallery, in the Jardim Botânico Shopping Mall, concluding its journey in April at the Espelho D’Água Gallery of the Legislative Chamber of the Federal District and at the ACDF Gallery.


More than a traveling exhibition, “Alma Negra Viva” (Living Black Soul) is a strategic cultural project conceived to decolonize perspectives and celebrate the aesthetic diversity of the African diaspora. Curated by Paulo Melo, the exhibition features works that engage with themes such as Afrofuturism, resilience, memory, and Black urbanity, presenting narratives that transcend the commonplace, affirming power, beauty, and the future.


“This exhibition is an act of visibility and resistance. Each work is a manifesto that honors the Blackness present in all of us and reaffirms art as a tool for social transformation,” emphasizes Paulo Melo.


The exhibition brings together established and emerging names from the national art scene, including Beth Ribeiro with her abstract and contemporary art. Beth Ribeiro is driving the cultural scene of Brasília, strengthening and expanding public access to art. Beth also facilitates exchanges with other artists in the Federal District, such as the participation of artist Dilson Cavalcanti with his Brazilian Mona Lisas, which is being shown for the first time in Brasília.


In addition to Beth Ribeiro, other artists contributed to the LBV exhibition, including: Danlan Rosa, Tarciso Viriato, Lourenço de Bem, Toninho de Souza, Ray Di Castro, Dilson Cavalcanti, Walkíria Borges, Rose Ornelas, Nilda Leite, Cris Lopez, Beth Ribeiro, Adalardo Santiago, Nancy Safatle, Vilma Machado, Maura Alves, Janice Affonso, Hemerson Joca, Ronaldo Ferreira, Dagoberto Ferreira, Alda Carvalho, Soraia Silva, Aniella Castro, Leo Sztutman, Milton Pontes, Paulo Melo, and Paola Lazzareschi.


The strategic itinerancy through institutional and cultural spaces in Brasília strengthens the network of local artists and expands public access to quality art. The exhibition will be open to the public free of charge, following the operating hours of each venue.
