The stunning French Brand Gaâla, featuring sophisticated modern classic cuts and vintage silhouette has recently launched in-store at SHOWFIELDS in Lincoln Road, Miami Beach. Gaâla combines classic French aesthetic with the finest Belarusian craftsmanship and beautiful high quality and sustainably crafted dresses and jumpsuits for both professional and everyday wear, that never goes out of style. The pieces transcend time and trends, and are quite affordable.

Founded by the husband-and-wife duo, Kelly de Gaalon, and Alexander Zhalezka, they personally handpick a variety of cotton, viscose, silk, and wool fabrics leftover by Italian fashion houses and procure deadstock linen in Belarus and create their unique and limited designs in a small-scale ethical workshop. Looking to make as small a footprint as possible Gaâla has chosen to use fabric remnants, that would in most cases be tossed into landfills, and repurpose for their collections. Due to the use of deadstock material and the limited nature, sometimes as few as two or three pieces are produced from one fabric. You can find that collection at: https://showfields.com/collections/gaala

Biltmore Square

The vision for Coral Gables living in a new era of luxury real estate

La visión de Coral Gables viviendo en una nueva era de bienes raíces de lujo

I

n 2015 a new developer to Coral Gables broke ground on his first luxury project, Biltmore Parc. In 2017, it announced that one of the first of a number of their Coral Gables-based developments, the townhouse community on Valencia Avenue was 100 percent sold out. In December of 2020, MG Developer, a company founded by Alirio Torrealba, began building its 8th property in the city and despite the pandemic, MG’s mission for the city never wavered. In fact, MG Developer remained focused on building beautiful homes that provide authentic sophisticated luxury living without compromising any detail. Since the company’s first project, they have been creating a number of new developments that not only complement the city’s character, but that truly elevate its standard of living in a variety of ways.

En 2015, un nuevo desarrollador de Coral Gables inició la construcción de su primer proyecto de lujo, Biltmore Parc. En 2017, anunció que uno de los varios proyectos de Townhomes ubicados en Coral Gables, en Valencia Avenue, estaban completamente vendidos. En diciembre del 2020, MG Developer, una empresa fundada por Alirio Torrealba, comenzó a construir su octava propiedad en la ciudad, y a pesar de la pandemia, la misión de MG siguió adelante. De hecho, MG Developer se mantuvo enfocado en construir hermosas casas que brinden una auténtica vida de lujo sofisticada sin comprometer ningún detalle. Desde el primer proyecto de la empresa, han creado una serie de nuevos desarrollos que no solo complementan el carácter de la ciudad, sino que realmente elevan su nivel de vida de diversas formas.


During these changing times, the company has been diligently working at finalizing its master-planned community -- Biltmore Square, a modern addition to the classic charm of Coral Gables, which will be completed in 2022. “Our new townhome residences in Coral Gables’ Biltmore Square enclave are the perfect place for newcomers to settle in and enjoy warm weather, ample indoor and outdoor space, all while being in proximity to the city’s core of luxury lifestyle amenities,” says Alirio Torrealba, CEO and Founder of MG Developer. From golf to shopping and dining, residents of Biltmore Square get to enjoy all the privileges of sophisticated living.

Durante estos tiempos cambiantes, la compañía ha estado trabajando diligentemente para finalizar su comunidad planificada maestra: Biltmore Square, una adición moderna al encanto clásico de Coral Gables, que se completará en el 2022. “Nuestras nuevas residencias de townhomes en Coral Gables Biltmore Square es el lugar perfecto para que los recién llegados se instalen y disfruten de un clima cálido, un amplio espacio interior y exterior, todo mientras se encuentran cerca del núcleo de comodidades de estilo de vida de lujo de la ciudad”, dice Alirio Torrealba, director ejecutivo y fundador de MG Developer. Desde golf hasta tiendas y restaurantes, los residentes de Biltmore Square pueden disfrutar de todos los privilegios de una vida sofisticada.

Ron Shuffield, President and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Home Services (BHHS) EWM Realty, the highly-respected realty company now leading sales and marketing for MG’s Althea Row and Biltmore Row, said, “MG Developer has done remarkable things and is an integral part of the Coral Gables community. We look forward to watching the company’s vision for the city evolve.” The realty company that has been seeing a great deal of interest from Northerners, believes MG’s developments are a match for those looking for an ideal location, luxury living, privacy as well as access to shopping, dining and cultural attractions.

Ron Shuffield, presidente y director ejecutivo de Berkshire Hathaway Home Services (BHHS) EWM Realty, la respetada compañía de bienes raíces que ahora lidera las ventas y el marketing de Althea Row y Biltmore Row de MG, dijo: “MG Developer ha creado desarrollos notables y ahora es una parte integral de la comunidad de Coral Gables. Esperamos ver evolucionar la visión de la empresa para la ciudad “. La compañía de bienes raíces ha estado recibiendo un gran interés por parte de los norteños, y cree que los desarrollos de MG son adecuados para aquellos que buscan una ubicación ideal, una vida de lujo, privacidad y acceso a tiendas, restaurantes y atracciones culturales.


MG’s unique and luxurious residences at Biltmore Square are all within walking distance of Downtown Coral Gables yet secluded enough to enjoy the area’s lush landscapes and quaint neighborhood. A city rich in history, yet with urban flair. Its proximity to first-class amenities such as Rivera Country Club, The Biltmore Golf Club, first-rated dining and shopping in Miracle Mile, museums, universities and an international airport just three miles away make it a spectacular place to live and a real estate investment that will maintain its value. Offering the best of both worlds--a modern, yet classic flair to the city’s international architecture, Biltmore Square’s classic-style blocks mark the community’s latest addition of luxury townhomes in Coral Gables. The latest collection of combined 15, 4-bedroom/4.5 bath elevatored residences – ten at Biltmore Row, and five at the adjacent Althea Row, are ideally located on the tree-lined Anderson Road in Coral Gables. The grand, oversized townhomes range from 4,500 square feet to 5,500 square feet, and are priced starting from $3.4 million. All of MG’s contemporary enclaves offer their own unique charm and distinct design elements. In Coral Gables, MG developed Valencia Townhomes, The Ponce, Villa Blanc, and Biltmore Square, which includes Biltmore Parc and the award-winning Beatrice Row residences. MG is now building Biltmore Row and about to finalize construction on Althea Row. Currently, MG Developer is the most active developer in Coral Gables.

Las residencias exclusivas y lujosas de MG en Biltmore Square estan ubicadas a poca distancia del downtown de Coral Gables, pero lo suficientemente apartadas para disfrutar de los exuberantes paisajes y el pintoresco vecindario de la zona. Esta ciudad es rica en historia, pero con estilo urbano. Su proximidad a servicios de primera clase como Rivera Country Club, The Biltmore, restaurantes y tiendas de primer nivel como Miracale Mile, Giralda Plaza, museos, universidades y un aeropuerto internacional a solo tres millas de distancia lo convierten en un lugar espectacular para vivir y una inversión inmobiliaria que mantendrá su valor. Ofreciendo lo mejor de ambos mundos: un estilo moderno y elegante con arquitectura internacional, los bloques de estilo clásico de Biltmore Square marcan la última incorporación de townhomes de lujo de la comunidad en Coral Gables. La colección de residencias elevadas combinadas de 15, de 4 habitaciones / 4.5 baños, diez en Biltmore Row y cinco en la adyacente Althea Row, están idealmente ubicadas en Anderson Road, bordeada de árboles, en Coral Gables. Los grandes townhomes comienzan desde los 4500 pies cuadrados a los 5500 pies cuadrados, y tienen un precio que empieza desde $ 3.4 millones. Todos los enclaves contemporáneos de MG ofrecen su propio encanto único y elementos de diseño distintos. En Coral Gables, MG desarrolló Valencia Townhomes, The Ponce, Villa Blanc y Biltmore Square, que incluye Biltmore Parc y las galardonadas residencias Beatrice Row. MG ahora está construyendo Biltmore Row y está a punto de finalizar la construcción en Althea Row. Actualmente, MG Developer es el desarrollador más activo de Coral Gables.

Most recently, Colliers International announced that a finance team led by Jeffrey Donnelly and Dmitry Levkov structured more than $16 million in equity financing for the combined 15 residences of Biltmore Row and Althea Row.

Recientemente, Colliers International anunció que un equipo financiero dirigido por Jeffrey Donnelly y Dmitry Levkov estructuró más de $ 16 millones en financiamiento de capital para las 15 residencias combinadas de Biltmore Row y Althea Row.

MG Developer’s role in supporting the Coral Gables lifestyle through distinct residences and unique art has brought an added layer of originality to the city’s charm and appeal for all residents to enjoy. It’s all part of the vision to building beautiful. “Our vision was and still is to establish enclaves within this historic city and create the next chapter for residents to take part in” concludes Torrealba.

El rol de MG Developer en el apoyo al estilo de vida de Coral Gables a través de distintas residencias y arte único ha aportado originalidad al encanto y atractivo de la ciudad para que disfruten todos sus residentes. Todo es parte de la visión de construir mas belleza. “Nuestra visión era y sigue siendo establecer enclaves dentro de esta ciudad histórica y crear el próximo capítulo en el que los vecinos puedan participar”, concluye Torrealba.


Coral Gables entra en una nueva era con el enclave residencial de lujo de MG Developer, Biltmore Square Recientemente, MG Developer inició la construcción de Biltmore Row, que se completará en 2022, mientras que Althea Row ha estado en construcción desde que comenzó a construirse a fines de 2019 y está programado para completarse en 2021. Ambos desarrollos de townhomes, diseñados por la renombrada empresa De La Guardia Victoria Architecture, unirán Biltmore Parc y Beatrice Row para terminar Biltmore Square, un reparto lujoso que refleja la tradición de la ciudad de “The City Beautiful” (La ciudad Bella), que encarna la visión de MG para ofrecer un atractivo único y elementos de diseños distintos y de comodidades al estilo de vida de Coral Gables. “MG Developer se ha ganado la reputación de crear las mejores residencias de lujo de Coral Gables, y su recientemente terminada Beatrice Row es sustancialmente similar en estilo, arquitectura, tamaño y calibre de los acabados”, dijo Jeffrey Donnelly, director ejecutivo de Colliers. Con la adición de estos townhomes, Coral Gables se está ganando otro reparto de excelente construcción para servir a los aficionados del lujo que han estado buscando comodidades urbanas a una corta distancia, mientras que puedan disfrutan del pintoresco estilo de vida de una sofisticada plaza urbana. Con un estilo moderno pero clásico a la arquitectura internacional de la ciudad, los bloques de estilo clásicos de Biltmore Square marcan la última incorporación de townhomes de lujo en Coral Gables. Todos los enclaves contemporáneos de MG ofrecen su propio encanto único y elementos de diseño distintos, pero todos se fusionan con la rica historia y estética arquitectónica de The City Beautiful. “MG Developer ha hecho grandes cosas en Coral Gables y valoramos mucho la confianza de Alirio en nuestra experiencia a medida que finalizamos la fase final de su comunidad única”, dijo Ron Shuffield, presidente y director ejecutivo de BHHS EWM Realty. “Alirio y el equipo de MG son una parte integral de la comunidad de Coral Gables y esperamos ver evolucionar su visión de la ciudad”.

Both of these townhome developments, designed by the revered De La Guardia Victoria Architecture, will join Biltmore Parc and Beatrice Row to finish-off Biltmore Square, a luxurious enclave that reflects the city’s tradition of The City Beautiful, which embodies MG’s vision for the City — a destination replete with Coral Gables’ lifestyle amenities. “MG Developer has established a reputation of creating Coral Gables’ finest luxury residences, and its recently completed Beatrice Row is substantially similar in style, architecture, size and in caliber of finishes,” said Jeffrey Donnelly, Colliers’ Executive Director. With the addition of these townhomes, Coral Gables is gaining another quintessential development built to serve connoisseurs of luxury that have been seeking urban amenities at a short distance, while enjoying the quaint lifestyle of a sophisticated town square. All of MG’s contemporary enclaves offer their own

unique charm and distinct design elements, yet they all coalesce with The City Beautiful’s rich history and architectural aesthetics. “MG Developer has done great things in Coral Gables and we highly regard Alirio’s confidence in our expertise as we finalize his unique neighborhood’s final phase,” said Ron Shuffield, President and CEO of BHHS EWM Realty. “Alirio and the MG team are an integral part of the Coral Gables community and we look forward to watching his vision for the city evolve.” Earlier this year, Beatrice Row was presented with the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art Addison Mizner Award for Florida and the Caribbean as the best Multi-Family Residential project for its advancement and promotion of the ideals of classicism and traditional design in architecture and urbanism.

LEGAL NEWS SOURCE Our legal expert, Attorney P. J. Mitchell of Mitchell and West, LLC discusses the Trump Impeachment

P.J. Mitchell “[T]reason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors” are the means by which a United States President may be impeached. The lower chamber, the House of Representatives, has the “sole Constitutional power to impeach,” similar to an indictment. In the event of a simple majority vote by the House of Representatives, the President would be “impeached” and the upper chamber, the Senate, which has the “the sole power to try all impeachments” would conduct the trial. This Constitutional power to hold a trial and vote determines whether there should be a conviction on the Articles of Impeachment and a subsequent disqualification of the office. For conviction, sixty (60) Senators (which is a two-thirds majority) would need to vote “yes” for conviction. Thereafter, on the issue of disqualification, only a subsequent majority vote, fifty-one (51) votes, would be necessary to prevent a President from ever holding office again. Historically, there have been several legal challenges to impeachments. Most notably, the latest challenge to impeachment procedure was by Judge Walter L. Nixon. See Walter L. Nixon v. United States, 113 S. Ct. 732, (1993). Nixon claimed Senate Rule XI violated the Impeachment Trial Clause of the United States Constitution because a Senate committee took testimony and gathered evidence during proceedings rather than

Spencer West the entire Senate. Pursuant to the Trial Clause, the Senate has the power to “try” all impeachments. Essentially, Judge Nixon claimed that the entire Senate must gather and hear the evidence rather than a select Senate committee. The Supreme Court held that the Senate had the sole discretion to choose impeachment procedures pursuant to the United States Constitution Article 1, Section 3, cl. 6, under the rational that the Trial Clause was a nonjusticiable issue. According to the United States Senate archives, in 1876 the Senate debated whether it had jurisdiction to proceed on five (5) Articles of Impeachment against Secretary of War, William W. Belknap after he had resigned from his cabinet position. The Articles alleged, among other things, charged Belknap with “criminally disregarding his duty as Secretary of War and basely prostituting his high office to his lust for private gain.” The Senate convened its trial agreeing that it retained impeachment jurisdiction over former government officials. Specifically, at trial the House managers argued that Belknap should not be allowed to escape from justice simply by resigning his office. Eventually Belknap was acquitted as the necessary two-thirds vote threshold was not reached. To date Donald J. Trump, the 45th President of the United States, is the only President in history

to have been impeached twice. Like his first impeachment trial, it is unlikely that Trump will be convicted, as a supermajority would be required for conviction. Additionally, a conviction would be a condition precedent for a vote for disqualification to hold future office. Based on review of the current Senators set to cast their votes, it appears Donald J. Trump will be acquitted again. On balance, Trump’s supporters argue that Trump put “America First” through economic policy, trade policy and record unemployment, utilizing every tool in his tool box. Trump recognized that the political class had taken advantage of and otherwise used the working class. The workingclass jobs had been shipped to other countries as a result of global policies which started with George H.W. Bush and carried forward through subsequent administrations. Trump understood the working class had been used for votes and to financially support this country. The working class has been working every day to put a roof over their collective heads and food on their tables with the hopes that their children would have a better life than themselves. The working class trusted their elected leaders to do the right thing and were let down. The Democrats should rethink this political strategy of this second impeachment as it will continue to give oxygen to Trump and the Republican party.



Romantic Travel Sail into the Sunset…. Navegando hacia el atardecer…. By/Por: Nancy Esteves

What a more romantic way to travel than by sailing on a luxury cruiser. And what better place than in the boating capital of the world—Florida!

Qué forma más romántica es la de navegar en un crucero de lujo. Y qué mejor lugar que la capital mundial de la navegación: Florida!

Sailors have their pick of great destinations on the Atlantic, the Gulf and in the Florida Keys. From Jacksonville to the Florida Keys the possibilities are nearly endless.

Los navegantes pueden elegir entre grandes destinos en el Atlántico, el Golfo y desde Jacksonville hasta los Cayos de Florida, las posibilidades son casi infinitas.

acksonville is the gateway to the St. Johns River, the state’s major interior waterway with first-class marinas and world-class fishing.

Jacksonville es la puerta de entrada al río St. Johns, la principal vía fluvial interior del estado con puertos deportivos de primera clase y pesca de primera clase.

Fort Lauderdale has been called the Venice of America (more than 300 miles of inland waterways). Stretching from Biscayne National Park in the north more than 125 miles to Key West to the southwest, the Keys is one of the great Florida boating destinations.

Fort Lauderdale ha sido llamado la Venecia de América (más de 300 millas de vías navegables interiores). Extendiéndose desde el Parque Nacional Biscayne en el norte a más de 125 millas hasta Cayo Hueso al suroeste, los Cayos son unos de los mejores destinos de navegación en la Florida

Each island or key has its own personality. Scuba diving buffs love Key Largo for its reefs and shipwrecks. Deepsea fishermen head to Islamorada, the Sportfishing Capital of the World. From Key West, it is just a 70-mile crossing to Dry Tortugas National Park, home to Fort Jefferson, and its world-class snorkeling. 42 | February / March 2021 | www.holalatinosnews.com

Cada isla o cayo tiene su propia personalidad. Los aficionados al buceo aman Key Largo por sus arrecifes y naufragios. Los pescadores de aguas profundas se dirigen a Islamorada, la capital mundial de la pesca deportiva. Desde Cayo Hueso, es solo un cruce de 70 millas hasta el Parque Nacional Dry Tortugas, hogar de Fort Jefferson, y su esnórquel de clase mundial.


Tampa Bay, the state’s largest estuary, has some of the best boating in Florida. You can cruise to Beer Can Island or Shell Key or to Egmont Key and explore the ruins of a 19th Century army fort. Head south out of the mouth of Tampa Bay and it is just a short run to Anna Maria Island and Sarasota, another Gulf Coast city that caters to cruisers. St. Petersburg/Clearwater water are breathtaking and can make for a quite romantic sail and a lovely place to visit. Pensacola, a city with a sailing tradition that dates to the Spanish explorers, and the nearby towns of Fort Walton Beach and Destin, often called the “World’s Luckiest Fishing Village,” are the jewels of Northwest Florida. Panama City Beach is famed for its 27 miles of white-sand beaches.

Tampa Bay, el estuario más grande del estado, tiene algunos de los mejores paseos en bote en Florida. Puede navegar a Beer Can Island o Shell Key o Egmont Key y explorar las ruinas de un fuerte del ejército del siglo XIX. Diríjase hacia el sur desde la desembocadura de la bahía de Tampa y está a un corto trayecto de Anna Maria Island y Sarasota, otra ciudad de la costa del Golfo que atiende a los cruceros. Las aguas de San Petersburgo / Clearwater son impresionantes y pueden ser una navegación bastante romántica y un lugar encantador para visitar. Pensacola, una ciudad con una tradición de navegación que se remonta a los exploradores españoles, y los pueblos cercanos de Fort Walton Beach y Destin, a menudo llamados el “pueblo pesquero más afortunado del mundo”, son las joyas del noroeste de Florida.

Cruisers

Best Cruising Multihull Under 40ft Excess 12

With the express intent of creating a whole-new “experience” in catamaran sailing, Groupe Beneteau has introduced a new line called Excess. The first to reach U.S. shores was the Excess 12, a 38ft 6in model that is an evolution of the popular Lagoon 40.

The Neel 51 A loft under a sail The NEEL 51 combines the benefits of its predecessors the NEEL 45 and the NEEL 65, performance and comfort living. It’s a blue water yacht for family, manoeuvrable by minimal crew.

Best Monohull Cruising Boat 41 to 50ft Amel 50 Amel, the French builder of high-quality long-range cruisers, does not make changes frequently or frivolously: one of the many reasons why the Amel 50 caught the attention of our judges when they first came across it in Annapolis.


Best Multihull Cruising Boat 41 to 50ft Fountaine Pajot Elba 45 Targeting the sweet spot that is the mid-40ft multihull range, French builder Fountaine Pajot has now introduced the Elba 45, a cruising cat that is deservedly receiving much attention and many positive reviews. With its significant beam, this is a cat that can accommodate a crowd.

Sailing Superyacht: ‘Canova’

Hermes Speedster We had to throw this in! This Sleek and Speedy New Runabout Was Inspired by a Vintage Porsche. A watercraft with all the stylings of a classic car. Consider the latest Hermes Speedster model from UKbased Seven Seas Yachts as a Porsche 356 for the sea—but with a futuristic twist. While the body pays homage to the German marque’s early, now iconic “bathtub” design, power is delivered from a silent, zeroemission 100 kw electric motor juiced by a 30 kwh battery pack.

The Best Sailboat Brands and Why Hallberg-Rassy Hallberg-Rassy is a Swedish yacht maker that’s very well-known in the blue water cruising circles for making some of the highest quality and sturdiest sailboats. For many sailors, this is the number one sailboat brand as it offers absolute comfort, utmost safety, and good and easy handling.

This 142-footer from Baltic Yachts has some of the most sophisticated technologies of any 100-foot-plus sailing vessel ever seen. Canova scores highly not only for that early-adopter tech edge but also for her natural beauty on the water. Lucio Micheletti’s balanced design includes a long, lean hull, a low-profile cabin and a vertical bow, with a suite for the owner, three guest staterooms and quarters for four crew. The yacht is equipped with powerful electric winches that allow shorthanded sailing with minimal crew.

En marcha la construcción de un estacionamiento subterráneo de $25 millones en Una Residences en Miami, del OKO Group y Cain International Está avanzando la construcción del que será el garaje subterráneo más profundo y costoso de Miami. A tres pisos y casi 15 metros por debajo del nivel del mar, la construcción del garaje del edificio de condominios Una Residences, en Miami, con un área de 9.290 metros cuadrados y estacionamiento para 236 autos, costará a los desarrolladores inmobiliarios $25 millones. El primer garaje subterráneo de su clase, construido a orillas de la bahía de Biscayne, será un elemento clave de la torre residencial de lujo de 47 pisos cuando esté terminada en 2023. Los desarrolladores, OKO Group, el grupo de construcción de residencias de lujo, dirigido por el magnate inmobiliario Vladislav Doronin, y Cain International han contratado a los arquitectos de fama

mundial Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill (AS+GG) para diseñar Una Residences. La torre de 176,5 metros de altura se concibió para que encarnara el espíritu de la ciudad y la estética del ambiente urbano y costero del distrito de Brickell. Este concepto abierto frente al agua solo podía realizarse ‘ocultando’ el garaje bajo tierra, un concepto difícil y costoso que presenta un marcado contraste con los edificios de condominios típicos del Sur de la Florida, que suelen tener el área de la piscina encima de varios niveles de estacionamiento. Para crear la estructura subterránea, los equipos de desarrollo, diseño y construcción trabajaron en estrecha coordinación para determinar el mejor método de construcción subterránea tan cerca de la bahía.

Construction of a $ 25 million underground parking underway at Una Residences in Miami, by OKO Group and Cain International Construction of what will be the deepest and most expensive underground garage in Miami is progressing. At three stories and almost 15 meters below sea level, the construction of the garage of the Una Residences condominium building in Miami, with an area of 9,290 square meters and parking for 236 cars, will cost real estate developers $ 25 million. The first underground garage of its kind, built on the shores of Biscayne Bay, will be a key element of the 47-story luxury residential tower when completed in 2023. Developers OKO Group, the luxury residence construction group, led by real estate mogul Vladislav Doronin, and Cain International have hired world-renowned architects Adrian

Smith + Gordon Gill (AS + GG) to design Una Residences. The 176.5 meter tall tower was conceived to embody the spirit of the city and the aesthetics of the urban and coastal environment of the Brickell district. This open waterfront concept could only be realized by ‘hiding’ the garage underground, a difficult and expensive concept that stands in stark contrast to typical South Florida condo buildings, which typically have the pool area on top of several parking levels. To create the underground structure, the development, design and construction teams worked closely together to determine the best method of underground construction this close to the bay.

Guardianes del Espacio Sagrado. Por: Jeanette Dallen

F

lorencia Clement de Grandprey es una artista multicultural, de madre americana y padre Galo italiano, nacida y criada en España. Desde joven manifestó interés por el arte, y aun cuando no recibió ninguna educación formal al respecto, en 2014, decidió dejar su carrera como diseñadora de interiores y seguir su verdadera pasión: pintar.


“Como no recibí ninguna formación artística, he desarrollado un estilo sin reglas, lo que me da una gran libertad. Combino mi amor por los maestros clásicos con estilos de diseño contemporáneo para producir cuadros de técnica mixta.” Continuamente estoy explorando superficies y materiales. Inicialmente me propuse pintar sobre lienzo e incorporé, reciclé y reutilicé materiales de desecho, como telas y papel tapiz de muestrarios viejos para crear mis fondos y vestir mis personajes. Luego descubrí que podía pintar directamente sobre telas de tapicería y alfombra”.

La evolución de su estilo se ve reflejada en su última serie titulada “Guardianes del Espacio Sagrado”, compuesta de retratos a gran escala de personas de diferentes etnias, que pintadas sobre alfombras clásicas tipo persa infunden una sensación de protección y calma al espacio en que se encuentran.


“Me he enamorado del efecto que puedo lograr pintando sobre tapices, los estampados se entrelazan con las imágenes creadas por mi agregándole otra dimensión. Quiero celebrar todo lo que nos hace seres únicos, perfectamente imperfectos, y decir: te veo y te honro.” Su próxima exhibición se llevará a cabo en Ras Al Khaima, Emiratos Árabes Unidos del 05 de febrero al 03 de abril.

Florencia Clement de Grandprey is a multicultural artist, of American and a Gallo-Italian heritage, who was born and raised in Spain. The evolution of her unique style and stunning works is reflected in her latest series entitled “Guardians of the Sacred Space,” composed of large-scale portraits of people of different ethnicities, painted on classic Persian-type rugs, which instill a feeling of protection and calm to any space.

S NATURAL ANTIOXIDANT

First Colombian corozo fruit, nurturing and antioxidant skin and hair oil, blended with cacay and coconut oils is launched in the United States market

S Natural launches its new nourishing oil for face and body, and its founders, Sabina and Alexandra Covo, daughters of the prestigious Colombian dermatologist German Covo Segrera, introduce the new natural antioxidant formula.

M

iami, FL September. Inspired by the natural beauty people are born with, two sisters and their father, a prestigious Colombian dermatologist, created the first skin oil made of a blend between corozo, coconut and cacay. Rich in antioxidants and anthocyanins S Natural Oil acts as a complete moisturizer, antioxidant, and epidermal barrier repairer. Corozo, known as the exotic berry of the Caribbean, is a fruit that grows from a palm tree in Colombia, and it is now used in the skin care industry because of the great benefits it offers. One of these benefits is its antioxidant properties and skin protector effect. On the other hand, cacay, native to the Amazon rainforests of South America, is rich in vitamin E, retinol and linoleic acid, so it does not only nourish, but also repairs damaged and flaking skin and helps maintain the protective barrier of the same. Coconut oil, in addition to being an excellent conductive oil, has the ability to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, improving the elasticity and flexibility of the skin. “Our formula additionally boasts a semi-sweet, soft coconut smell and after applying on to dry or wet skin and hair, with the right amount it acts as a serum, not oily,” says Alexandra Covo, CEO and physician for S Natural, who firmly believes that the best way of embracing natural beauty is by using products that contain natural ingredients. “I use it every day, even before every make up session,

because it protects and repairs damaged skin,” explains Sabina Covo, TV journalist and co-founder of the company. Furthermore, there are different ways of using S Natural Oil depending on the type of skin of the patient. “For dry skin, it should be applied around the eyes and around the mouth; for oily skin, it must be used only around the eyes, mixed skin can apply all over, the cacay in it is excellent for hair growth as well and men use it on their beards to create a more event result as well as hydrate” explains Germán Covo Segrera, award winning dermatologist who graduated from Universidad de Barcelona, Spain and his over thirty years of experience in the field. Dr. Covo has long been studying natural ingredients for anti-aging and has been commemorated for his work at the Cancer league and other international institutions. Cacay from the Colombian Amazon, Coconut from the Caribbean and Corozo, mostly unknown to the world, create a powerful combination of products from South America, formula that grants S Natural Oil the extravagant, exotic, elegant and at the same time natural exclusivity of the Caribbean, highlighting the unique and original beauty of all people. The vision: S Natural wants you to embrace your naturality, that is why it is as natural as you are.
