Photos and text about the 3 phases Prata´s paintings.

 Prata had his break when he won the XV Brazilian Championship of Sand Sculptures organized by Air France in February 1981. 

The award gave him the opportunity to go to Paris and study at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts, the very same school Renoir, Ingres and Delacroix studied at.
The Prata Art Studio is a place where we share painting techniques and knowledges of art. 

Located near to the big town of São Paulo, the art studio became a reference to students of painting techniques.

While in Paris, Sérgio dedicated his efforts in studying antique painting techniques. He is one of the very few artists who employ the fresco technique observed in the works of master artists such as Giotto, Masaccio, Michelangelo and Portinari.
This home page shows part of his works as well as old painting technique secrets. The visitor to this home page can also appreciate his lastest works in which he adopts several techniques such as the use of bee wax in the production of  murals and canvas. In addition, the visitor is able to learn more about his most recent cultural releases among which are his two books -  Painting Techniques and Anatomy For Artists. 
There is also his educational DVD that addresses varied painting techniques and his CD-Rom entitled Painting Techniques, Anatomy For Artists and Composition. 
Prata is the author of sacred art paintings in 10 Brazilians churches in the state of Sao Paulo, where he lived the last years. 
He went to Paris in 2002, as "Professeur en stage" at Painting Technics studio in the Ensb-a, working with his master Mr. Abraham Pincas and with Helène Yankoff at Saint Luc Icon's Studio, and return in 2006, to visit art studios in Bretagne, Bourgogne, and Paris, sponsored by Sennelier and Raphael.
