Product Description
NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, offers thousands of limited edition and one-of-a-kind gifts, jewelry, and home decor treasures handmade by master artists and artisans throughout the world. Fat papayas crowd a market stand, their smooth peel slashed to reveal their red-orange flesh. Perfuming the air with their sweet, ripe fragrance, the succulent fruit makes an enticing composition. Juicy wedges stripped of peppery black seeds vie with whole pieces in the dim light. Hugo Curti captures a beautiful scene and whimsically names it "R$ 0.50 cada" in Portuguese. Color photograph on Fujicolor Crystal paper mounted on a foamboard base Artisan Info: "I inherited my passion for photography from my father. Ever since I was a boy, I accompanied him in his work with great interest. When I was about eight years old and could reach the trays in the laboratory, I began to learn how to develop and enlarge my own photos. As a game, I'd take pictures of my sister, my cousins and the house, already revealing my eye for the details of the world around me. When I was 12, I won a photography contest sponsored by the neighborhood newspaper with a picture of the grillwork on a public building. "I studied geology and I opted for a career in jewelry and gemology, distancing myself from photography. However the sleeping passion resurfaced in 2001 when, in the Sao Paulo Museum of Modern of Art, I participated in a four-month workshop on photographic language with photographer Gal Oppido.
