SCULPTURE AND PAINTING BY HOPARE
In the span of just a decade, Alexandre Monteiro, also known as HOPARE, has emerged as an emblematic figure of urban art at the age of 35. He is part of the “Street Art” movement where he found his formative influences and honed his craft. Refusing to be confined to a single artistic style, HOPARE transcends boundaries with a fervent desire to express his uniqueness. Demonstrating a genuine creative genius, he effortlessly explores various artistic mediums, including canvases, murals, sculptures, and azulejos.
An artistic impulse that compensates for a void left by the history of a fractured society, Hopare is driven by the idea of reconstruction, suture, connection and creativity as a vector of hope.
Its distinctive feature is the dazzling, generous beauty of the figurative in all its creations.
HOPARE’s portraits resonate with profound humanity. He skillfully combines the emotive power conveyed through his subjects’ eyes with meticulous attention to line work and material effects on his canvases, achieving a delicate balance between spontaneity and self-imposed discipline.
His art transcends genres as he fearlessly ventures beyond his comfort zone to explore themes of the unknown, emptiness, and renewal, all imbued with boundless humility. Like a nomad in search of his promised land, HOPARE is constantly on the move, his encounters on the road becoming the subjects of his works.
Freedom is the essence of his life and artistic journey. With their arresting presence, his creations have captured the hearts of collectors worldwide.”

We are thrilled to announce a partnership between HOPARE and the Jiboiana non profit organization as part of the PLANET 2030 initiative. HOPARE, a renowned artist known for his vibrant and emotive artwork, has committed to donating a portion of the proceeds from the sale of one of his pieces to support Jiboiana‘s invaluable work with indigenous communities in Brazil’s Amazonia. These indigenous groups are not only stewards of the land but also crucial protectors of the Amazon Rainforest.
Through our collaboration, we aim to empower these communities, providing them with resources and support to continue their vital role in preserving and restoring the rainforest. By supporting Jiboiana and the indigenous guardians of Nature, HOPARE takes a significant step towards safeguarding one of the world’s most precious ecosystems for future generations.
FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY : THE 'SPIRIT' SERIES BY AURORE KLEIN
As spiritual beings, we humans hold a unique and precious position as both guardians and children of our planet. Our paramount role is to look after the Earth and preserve its wellbeing, recognizing that we are intrinsically connected to it and all its creatures.
This responsibility calls on us not only to protect and preserve our environment, but also to nurture our own spiritual growth, so as to cultivate the wisdom, compassion, and love necessary to fully embody our protective role.
By establishing a harmonious balance between our inner development and our external commitment, we can work together for the wellbeing of the world and all its inhabitants.
The beauty of nature transcends the bounds of our perception, extending far beyond what our eyes can see. It manifests not only in the grand landscapes that surround us, but also in the minute details that make up the very essence of our humanity.
At the heart of this grace lies a deep connection between the macrocosm of the universe and the microcosm of atoms, a harmony that unites the vastness of space and the complexity of particles that form the fabric of our existence.
By exploring the mysteries of nature, we discover dimensions invisible to the naked eye, revealing structures and patterns of incredible splendor. From distant galaxies to the intricate patterns of snowflakes, from the spiral of a seashell to the perfect symmetry of molecules, each element of our reality carries within it a unique signature of universal magnificence.
In recognizing that perfection resides as much in the vastness of the universe as in the heart of atoms, we develop a deep respect and admiration for the complexity and interconnection of what surrounds and constructs us.
This also reminds us of our place in this grand scheme and the responsibility we bear as guardians of this fragile beauty, which extends far beyond what our eyes can perceive.
At the heart of our world lies a trinity of spirits, a sacred communion between the Earth, the Ocean, and the Forest. Witnesses to our existence, these natural forces transcend time and space, enveloping us in their ineffable majesty. Through this artistic trinity united by our universal consciousness and love, we celebrate the depth of our spiritual connection with these three elements and their unalterable presence in our lives.
