Naza, a very renowned Brazilian Born American Artist, has exhibited her work in major art galleries and museums throughout the American Continent and in Europe.

Her works are in important collections, such as President Clinton’s, President Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Ivana Trump, Ayrton Senna Foundation, Brigitte Bardot, The West Point Museum, Emerson Fitipaldi, Countess De Hoernle, Florida Marlins, and the Cornell Museum of Art and History.
Some of Naza’s latest honors are the Croix D’argent of “Lemerite et Devoument Frnçais”, a published biography written by Journalist Suzane Jales, the Key to The City of Boca Raton, and a Proclamation by the Brazilian Senate in her honor.
The most striking aspect of Naza’s art is her skilled integration of opposites, such as abstraction and realism. Her contemporary art is imaginative, powerful and unprecedented in style.
Her subjects range from wildlife art, figurative art, including nudes, portraits, but she will paint about any subject, always adding her famous abstract touch to each artwork.
Naza’s art studio is in South Florida, where she is a very active and respected member of the communities of Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and all over the tri county area. She travels often to different parts of the World to exhibit her paintings and sculptures and to do portrait commissions.
