The Rio Carmo is the inaugural artwork created for the Vespucci Prime Collection as the centerpiece defining the the style of art that will be included in the Vespucci Prime collection. Every fine art piece will only have 1 copy and we will auction one piece at the end of each month.
The Rio Carmo
This piece of art contains assets that span 5 years in the capture date of each of the images that have been embedded in the artwork. The two primary images are from the cities of Lisbon, Portugal in September of 2017 and Rio De Janeiro Brazil in September of 2020. The photo taken in Lisbon was during my wife and I honeymoon. I choose to integrate these two as a symbol of the closeness between two nations that were once a singular nation. Additionally, these two nations contain such natural and architectural beauty, I felt as though they fit well together by integrating the natural beauty of Rio De Janeiro with the Architectural beauty and strength of Lisbon.
The Rio Carmo is a blend of the old world and the new, weaving the Guanabara Bay between the pillars of The Convent of Our Lady of Mount Carmo (Igreja Do Carmo). This work of art bridges the Atlantic Ocean, connecting Lisbon Portugal located on the tip of the Iberian peninsula and Rio de Janeiro Brazil central to the southwestern shores of south America.
