An amicable exchange of smiles and hugs displays friendship in all of its vibrant spirit. A boy makes friends with a variety of animals under the shade of far reaching leaves in tropical and exotic paradise. Elenice transfers to the canvas inhabitants of her vivid imagination, while her brushwork blends the ingenuity of childhood with the sensibility of an accomplished artist. Rich acrylic hues enliven this idyllic scene, perfect for an inviting interior. Arrives unstretched; unframed. Signed by the artist. Handmade by Elenice "My paintings try to make people conscious of social issues, especially those related to childhood. I was a street child for two years. When I was 16 yrs old, a German journalist inspired me to paint and to make music; she financed my studies. "Living in the streets of Brazil is a reality for thousands of children. It is not an easy life, neither is it understood by society. Thus it is from personal experience that my canvases explode with color to call people`s attention to this situation. Children are always present in my work, living in the streets always filled with hope and happiness. "Nowadays my work is well-known. I exhibited my work at the World Bank headquarters in Washington, which eventually got me an invitation from Hillary Rodham-Clinton to be her guest at the White House. "It all happened so fast! I was already working as an assistant to a professor at the School of Visual Arts of Parque Lage in Rio de Janeiro, where I also studied. A friend worked at the World Bank. She tended to use my paintings and drawings to illustrate her conferences about children in need, and she showed them to the institution`s president. The president bought 14 paintings.
