The Oil Painting Process: Illusion and Depth
In my oil paintings, I work with a very subtle, shallow canvas texture that becomes almost imperceptible once covered with paint. Through careful mastery of chiaroscuro light and shadow, I selectively emphasize areas of the surface to create the illusion of deep, rugged terrain and three-dimensional depth where none physically exists.
Subjects do not simply sit against a background; they are seamlessly integrated with illusory layers behind, beside, and within them. To bring order to chaos, I introduce geometric forms like transparent rectangles and squares—"cosmic windows" that act as cross-sections within the larger work, making every element interact as if it were a living being.
Guided by emotion balanced with rigorous technical composition, each painting becomes a living "event." Whether celebrating the vibrant energy of the human figure or raising awareness for endangered species and the environment, my goal is to evoke emotion, provoke thought, and connect profoundly with the viewer.

The First Art Commission Of The Internet History (1995)
In September 1995, while the world was still discovering the "World Wide Web," the Brazilian-American artist Naza made history. Through a chance encounter on Yahoo Chat, she connected with Tim Hulings, who was looking for something extraordinary for his mother's birthday.
What followed was the first documented art commission in internet history. Naza traveled to the Hulins' home in West Virginia to capture the perfect reference for the portrait. She photographed Mrs. Hulins kneeling by her favorite flower bed, surrounded by the peaceful beauty of her garden.
While the original scene included a loyal dog and sheep nearby, Naza's artistic vision focused entirely on the connection between the woman and her flowers. The final oil painting became the centerpiece of a historic birthday celebration, and the story was later featured in the Sun-Sentinel as a pioneer moment in the digital age.
Today, this 1995 commission stands as a testament to Naza's lifelong journey as a Visionary—a journey that continues with her latest "Never-Ending" digital masterpieces.
