Antonio Bernardino Coelho
Portuguese photographer and winner of the Best Photography Awards 2023 (www.bestphotographyawards.com).
Let him introduce himself:
"My name is Antonio Bernardino Coelho, I am from a small village in the north of Portugal, where I live, Recarei. I am 42 years old, married and father of two girls. I work as an electrical engineer. The taste for painting was evident in me from very early on, but it was only in 2010, after a trip to Cuba, that I became interested in photography, having captured many images.
However, having a small digital camera, I started to acquire analogue equipment and to develop the activity of learning photography in a self-taught way, using very old and medium format machines. My favourite camera is the Zeiss Ikon Nettar.
Only in 2015 I bought my first DSLR and since then I have developed skills in digital photography and digital image processing. I have a special interest in still life, landscape, conceptual and architecture.
In 2017 I got my first win in international competitions, in still life, at the Xposure festival in Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates.
Since then I have participated in many national and international competitions, having conquered podium places in competitions with high recognition. In 2018 I achieved the title of National Prize of Portugal in the Sony Awards, and the commended in the same competition.
The same feat is achieved in 2020, with the same title, National Prize of Portugal at the Sony Awards and shortlisted in still life.
And 2021, a series of my photographs addressing the problem of plastic in the environment and food, is an integral part of the exhibition at the Xposure festival in Sharjah, in the United Arab Emirates. Still in 2021, I won the gold title at the WPE awards, Budapest International Photo Awards and Tokyo International Foto Awards."
He has received many photography awards and especially remarkable is the one he received during the 2023 Best Photography Awards, which also has a new call for entries that you can see at www.bestphotographyawards.com.

Art Expo Algarve was a huge success
Some 150 international artists and art galleries gathered from 10 to 12 February 2023 at the Portimao Arena for the first edition of Art Expo Algarve. MOOD The Art of Today was present at this first event.
Everything was a success beyond expectations. More than 3000 visitors passed through the stands enjoying the art and also buying art. Algarve has a high concentration of international visitors, and this was evident during the fair. Many of the visitors were German, Norwegian, Swiss and Swedish, among others, which also put an international touch among the visitors.
The list of artists spans a wide range of areas, such as painters, digital artists, mixed media artists, photographers, sculptors and ceramic and glass artists.
The next fair is already scheduled for September 22- 24th, 2023, and the call for entries is now open at www.artexpoalgarve.com.
Michaël Viger
Austrian French - a glamorous artist in New York's Hollywood
Michaël Viger's charismatic personality made him assistant to director Henri Verneuil in the film "Mayrig", with Omar Sharif and Claudia Cardinale.
Michaël Viger transformed his life's inseparable love of realist painting, jazz and cinema from New York and Paris in the 1930s to the 1950s. One of Michaël Viger's most brilliant virtues is his great generosity with other disciplines of art, film, music and especially jazz.

Lllui Carbo
The artist's inspiration
‘Inspiration is the past, what has been lived, longed for, enjoyed, but with the vision of today, of the present’
‘When I create a work, it transports me to a world apart where I find fulfilment and joy. It is the language of my soul and the inspiration of my heart. This is how the results come to life, I believe that art in any of its forms is a wonderful gift that brings good vibrations to the world’

Helena Olausson - Sweden
The seductive has its place where she highlights the female body and its attractiveness just by attaching on canvas lingerie, a corset, a pair of red shoes and letting the viewer form an idea, a thought, a memory, or just dream about an unfulfilled desire.

Madrid Artist 360 - an art fair that welcomes everyone
The formula that Artist 360o has opted for in its events is to allow artists to take part directly in the fair under the self-representation model. This is how in this new exhibition concept artists and galleries coexist, also giving the opportunity to new talents to present their artistic proposal. But this is not the only way they have found to gain ground with their innovative proposal. To know all the details of how they are achieving it, we interviewed the director of the fair exclusively.

LITERATURE AND ART
‘A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS’
We have always been told that an image is worth a thousand words, but whoever f irst uttered this phrase did not take into account the thousands and thousands of paintings, drawings, photographs or films that inspired each of them. Words, words, words...
The six disciplines that throughout history have been defined as ‘arts’:
architecture; sculpture; painting; music; declamation; and dance...
I wonder: doesn’t literature make one of those fine arts that strive to count as seven?
Meet MOOD Art Fair
At MOOD Art Fair we never
stop
As you know, we like to add value in the art world, and that is why we collaborate on various projects nationally and internationally with galleries such as DgArt Gallery, Galería Áurea and A.Viazzi Gallery.
From one of these collaborations emerged the Art Book, one of our most important projects.
MOOD The Art of Today
In this book we take a trip around the world to find innovative works of art within the most avant-garde trends. Since 2005 we have been working to characterize our publication of independence, risk, plurality and coherence of criteria.
Our commitment to quality has led us to achieve a physical and online reach of more than 25,000 art galleries and 200,000 readers who enjoy works by artists like you.
In addition, every month in collaboration with DgArt Gallery, we publish "The artist of the month", an initiative in which we give visibility to artists we love.
Trust
"We have worked together for many years. And our cooperation has always been the best. It has brought my art to Copenhagen, London, Amsterdam, Madrid and several other places. Everything has been well organized and worked well. The collaboration has been optimal! I hope to be able to collaborate with the other projects that are in progress in which, together with other galleries, they have worked for several years and that will soon come true. Thank you for all the years of collaboration!”
- Per-Inge Isheden, Stockholm, Sweden
“I made my first purchase in one of the exhibitions. The art selection fits my taste. I appreciate that; if the work that one buys for some reason doesn’t fits at home, they change it for another. Selecting the right home piece can be difficult, making their option very attractive. I will definitely visit their next exhibitions! I wish I could have bought more!”
- Roger Westerberg – Gothemburg - Sweden
“Art brings people together and unites generations. With works of art we put our own grain
of sand for future generations - the works we exhibit are a gift to the community and an
expression of individuality of each one of us. Art breaks barriers.”
