*Charity Sale* Carlos Cesar Alves Original Painting, by docean on Aug 1, 2016 0:19:21 GMT 1, Hello everyone, as some of you may know (I posted a few weeks back) I have been working on starting a charity to help alleviate poverty in South Florida.
More information on The Blank Canvas Foundation can be found here (full, real, website coming soon)
I was fortunate enough to meet the artist Carlos Cesar Alves recently and he has been very kind to donate this piece to the cause. His ink on paper pieces regularly sell for $2500+ so this was a very exciting donation. 100% of the sale proceeds from this piece will benefit the charity.
Carlos Cesar Alves is a South Florida artist originally from Brazil. His art has been featured in numerous publications worldwide and he has had numerous exhibitions, including ones during Art Basel Miami. Charity is a very important part of his life and part of his life mission includes giving back.
Find out more information on him here
The piece is titled "Smile or Grimace" and the ambiguity of the facial expression is a representation of the contrast between rich and poor. It represents hope for the less fortunate and serves as a reminder of how one's blessings can be lost unexpectedly. The piece is 22" x 30" (55.88cm x 76.2cm) and is signed both on the front and back.
Please PM me for more information or offers. I'll be happy to cover shipping worldwide.
Thanks for reading!

*Charity Sale* Carlos Cesar Alves Original Painting, by docean on Aug 7, 2017 2:40:45 GMT 1, To give an update on Blank Canvas Foundation; legal costs to properly structure a 501c3 were absurd so all money raised last year was donated to a local homeless shelter.
