We will never give up!
Brazil deserves better, it is slowly taking its path to recover from the greatest corruption scandal in its history. We are looking forward to see the giant awake, growing, filled with opportunities and free of these sad memories. Meanwhile we have the people to thank for the revolution. The tireless citizens who didn’t silence their voices until government officials heard their plea of justice, the people’s voice to cure the country. August and September came with great events. We celebrated the Jewish Chamber of Commerce and the Muslim American Chamber of Commerce of Greater Orlando. The two events were filled with great connection, and a wonderful vibe of success accomplished.

trajetória
Stella N a N N i Quando se pensa no expressionismo figurativo, é preciso levar em conta dois fatores. Primeiro, há um movimento de dentro para fora, ou seja, uma forma de ver a realidade e, em seguida, a partir dele, ocorre a construção de uma pintura caracterizada pela qualidade e por um conhecimento do mundo. A artista plástica Stella Nanni se vale de seu instinto e de sua técnica para erguer uma expressão visual plena de dramaticidade e subjetividade. Vale-se de cores irreais e intensas e algumas deformações num exercício constante de exaltação do sentimento, mas sem perder o controle sobre o gesto. O emocional e o intelectual caminham em paralelo num exercício em que o elemento psicológico desempenha também um importante papel no sentido de que as telas estão marcadas pela personalidade da artista ao lidar com cores vibrantes, surjam elas mais fundidas ou separadas, mas lidando, na maioria dos casos, com alguns elementos inesperados, tanto numa tonalidade como num gesto plástico.
When one thinks about figurative expressionism, two elements should be taken into consideration. First, there’s an inside to outside movement, that is, a certain way to look at reality and then, from this movement on comes the construction of a painting characterized by quality and world’s knowledge. The visual and plastic artist Stella Nanni makes use of her instinct and technique to build a visual expression full of dramatic and subjective qualities. She makes use of unreal and intense colors and some deformations in a constant exercise of exaltation of the sentiment, but without losing control over the gesture.
The emotional and the intellectual move side by side, in an exercise in which the psychologi cal element also plays an important role in the sense that the paintings are marked by the personality of the artist when dealing with vibrant colors, whether they appear more merged or separated, but dealing, in the majority of the cases, with some unexpected elements, Artistas como Richard Diebenkorn, David Park, being it in a tint as in a plastic gesture. Joan Brown, Elmer Bischoff e Nathan Oliveira são algumas referências no que tangem à pintura Artists such as Richard Diebenkorn, David Park, gestual, pincelada larga e cor vibrante. Joan Brown, Elmer Bischoff and Nathan Oliveira
are some of the references concerning the gestural painting, large brushstrokes and vibrant color. Stella’s subjects, which come almost always from everyday routine, include people walking their dogs, couples and beach scenes.
Os assuntos de Stella, que parte quase sempr do cotidiano, incluem pessoas passeando com cães, casais de namorados e cenas de praia. O que predomina é um certo clima de mistério, também presente em suas mulheres nuas ou mesmo nas cenas em que surgem crianças.
cal element also plays an important role in the sense that the paintings are marked by the personalitywalking their dogs, couples and beach scenes. What is always there is a certain mystery
O uso do vermelho ou do verde, por exemplo, com suas múltiplas gradações, não resvala para o expressionismo alemão, marcado pelo uso do óleo como uma pasta grossa, martelada e áspera, mas por uma técnica em que o traço distintivo não está na violência ou no descontrole e muito menos no patético, trágico e sombrio.
The use of red or green, for instance, with its multiple gradations, doesn’t slide into German expressionism, marked by the use of oil paint as a thick paste, hammered and rugged, but is marked by a technique in which the distinctive stroke is not in the violence or lack of control and even less in the pathetic, tragic and somber.
atmosphere, also present in her naked women or even in the scenes in which children appear.
A artista alcança seus momentos mais significativos quando toma as pessoas como um poço de sentimentos a ser explorado. Sua pintura busca exatamente retirar de cada ser ou situação aquilo que existe de emoção e isso ganha a tela por meio de uma expressão plástica que não abre mão da figuração, âncora que mantém suas telas ligadas à realidade.
The artist reaches its most significant moments when she takes people as a well of sentiments to be explored. What her painting exactly seeks is to take from each being or situation the existing emotion and that reaches the canvas through a plastic expression that doesn’t let go of the figuration, the anchor that keep her paintings connected to reality. It’s when diving into what is not put into words that one É quando se mergulha naquilo que não está dito starts to apprehend what Stella Nanni declares que se começa a apreender o que Stella Nanni through a speech that is non-verbal but a imagistic declara por intermédio de um discurso que não é one, a result of the subtle links between verbal, mas imagético, fruto dos elos sutis entre what she wants to produce and what her art aquilo que ela deseja produzir e aquilo que a brings to the viewer. sua arte traz ao observador. Há na intuição da artista um caminhar por um depositório não-lógico da humanidade. Parece ser dali que brota uma manifestação visual caracterizada por um descolamento do real, mas que o comenta por intermédio de diversos recursos, que têm a liberdade como norte primordial. sentimento de estarem ligadas por uma maneirade ler a vida.
In the artist’s intuition there is a path that goes through a non-logical depository of humanity. It seems that from this arises a visual manifestation characterized by a detachment from what’s real, but that discuss it through several resources, with freedom being their primordial North. This means to keep the mind alert to capture everything that is around, with the purpose to always raise questions and doubts about what is called reality. In this sense, the paintings produce in the public the feeling that they are always connected through a particular way of interpreting life.

trajetória
Stella N a N N i Embora a artista também se manifeste, ao longo de sua carreira, com outras manifestações, como retratos de pessoas ou cavalos, ou o hiper-realismo, também conhecido como realismo fotográfico ou fotorealismo, é no expressionismo figurativo que encontra uma maneira mais completa de dar ao universo circundante uma interpretação.
criações, não tanto no que se vê no primeiro Although the artist, throughout her career, also express herself with other manifestations, such as people or horses portraits, or the hyperrealism, also known as photographic realism or photorealism, it’s in the figurative expressionism that she finds a more complete way to give her interpretation of the surrounding universe.
O âmago de toda a questão talvez esteja justamente nesse ponto. Por meio de suas formas e cores, a artista brasileira oferece uma proposta de leitura visual que não se resume à parte técnica, mas engloba uma questão muito delicada: o papel e o poder da arte de não se restringir a uma ilustração de um tema, mas ser, em si mesma, uma forma de conhecimento.
The core of the discussion maybe lies exactly in this point. Through her forms and colors, the Brazilian artist offers a proposal of a visual interpretation that doesn’t reduce itself to the technical part, but embodies a very delicate question: the role and the power of art of not being restricted to an illustration or theme, but to be in itself a kind of knowledge.
O trabalho de Stella auxilia a desconfiar da palavra. O mencionado mistério aponta para a imagem como um reduto onde o universo mágico dos sonhos pode ser cristalizado.
Stella’s work helps to doubt the word. The mystery mentioned points to the image as a stronghold where the magical universe of dreams can be crystallized.

Assim como uma semente tem dentro de si o potencial de gerar uma árvore esta, por sua vez, Her figurative expressionism isn’t just a label to please quando cresce, guarda metade de si mesma embaixo the market or the critics. It’s kind of a declaration of inda terra, nas trevas, escondida toda a sua tentions.

Isso significa observar cada imagem deste livro atentamente, não focando apenas os assuntos centrais da pintura da artista, mas sim observando atentamente a consecução de uma fatura poética absolutamente imanente Tal característica leva a colocar a sua pintura num patamar em que a discussão está além de estilos e denominações retiradas da história da arte.

This characteristic brings one to put her painting in a level in which the discussion is beyond styles or denominations taken from the history of art. In this aspect, the most authentic production comes from individuals, not from historical periods, since each one puts its personal dream

in the form of a painting, sculpture or some other plastic manifestation. Then it’s there produced an actual undertaking, adding today’s culture and the ones of previous eras with individual experiences.
Stella Nanni toma o cotidiano como mote para seu exercício plástico. A seleção dessa discussão é, em parte, já uma tomada de posição. As relações entre as pessoas a interessam e tomar esse tema implica em algumas seleções visuais. O que não está pintado também faz parte da sua arte, pois o fato de não estar lá traz também um significado.
Stella Nanni takes the everyday routine as the theme for her plastic exercise. The selection of this discussion already is, in part, to take a stand. The relations between people grab her attention and choosing this theme implies in some visual choices. What is not painted is also part of her art, since the fact of being not there also contains a meaning.
Ao escolher seu foco e pintá-lo de acordo com a sua forma de conceber o mundo plasticamente, a artista desenvolve muito mais que o expressionismo figurativo. Sua maneira de trabalhar as figuras, por meio da técnica, em termos de cor e forma, e da intuição, representa um pensamento interpretativo, uma poética, uma expressão visual própria e diferenciada.
When choosing her point of interest and painting it according to her way of plastically conceiving the world, the artist is going way beyond the figurative expressionism.

Doing business in the US
This is by far one of the most used themes for seminars, conferences, webinars, and it still attracts people. Why? I pondered. How to do business is not the same as how to be successful in business, although people sometimes might interpret it as such. People search for a good business, entrepreneurs are after the next big thing, everyone is looking for a great opportunity and most of the time missed it because the opportunity is right in front of them and they are not looking or paying attention. In my many years of being a consultant, I have come across some very innovative ideas, for the time, and some were very successful but not without difficulties. I remember when Amazon came out, we lived and learned with Jeff Bezos every decision and accompanied his every up and down, but he was persistent, adapted and changed and today his dream of being an everything store, is a reality. There is a great book “The everything store: Jeff Bezos and the age of Amazon”, by Brad Stone that will give you insights of this fantastic business model. The point I am getting at is that every business is different and has its own challenges, there is not a one recipe fits all for business. We are a country of niches, segments, and some very profitable ones, if you can think of something you need, chances are that you will find a supplier or two. A business consultant role is to assist their client – as an outsider – to think their business model and bethe ombudsman for that business, to keep it on track.

VIP WALK-IN CLINIC Giving Hope and Helping the Brazilian Community
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The most significant campaign made inside the Brazilian Community was VIP Walk-In Clinic’s Campaign, where more than 300 women were registered for the PINK October Campaign at the Florida Hospital, where mammograms were offered for $30 at any of their centers. The mobilization was made by social media, and word of mouth, the clinic staff worked tireless to achieve this goal. Every life matters, every minute counts, and for the first time we could really show how important it is to prevent, and to take action right away when something is wrong. To be the light to those who have no insurance, or any ways to find care, or help, they could count on the VIP Walk-in Clinic Staff and CEO Cristina Faria to get help. As a member of the Brazil America Business Council, we are proud to register their achievement and hope they can continue to strive and grow. Congratulations to their entire staff and to Cristina Faria CEO.
Governor Rick Scott’s 2017 Latin American Summit The Brazil America Business Council received the honor of the invite by Governor Rick Scott’s 2017 Latin American Summit.
Here are a few considerations on a few countries that are today embargo or not welcome to do business with the US,
We were represented by our Executive Director Laid Rodrigues.
CUBA At present, no company in the State of Florida does Business with Cuba, due to political choices, lack of Democracy. We must do everything possible to fight against the Castro arbitrary regime. A government where there are strong signs of corruption, violence and the presence of other elements that will always be a danger to the people and to the country.
The Summit was organized and conducted by Governor Rick Scott’s team. We were all exposed to new and useful information, but the main focus was on Democracy as a tool for Freedom and Economic Prosperity. We are blessed to live in a country where we have our freedoms and Constitutional rights respected. Taking advantage of it, allows us to build a path to develop relationships with other nations envisioning the new businesses and our economic development through trade agreements. Today 76% of our trade is done with Latin America and Caribbean. In order to keep trade fair, it is important to do business with Democratic countries, countries that are not laundering money for terrorism, are not cultivating a dictatorship, profiting from traffic or exploiting its people. Brazil, that until 2015 was the US biggest trade partner through Florida, is expected to change in upcoming presidential elections and hopefully return to its post of favored nation. A fact, trade has created 1.4 Million jobs in the US and Latin America, and Enterprise Florida helped create 450.000 jobs.
VENEZUELA No order, no security, total Chaos, no food, water or basic needs. Children are born every day with no rights and under Maduro’s madness, if the regime keeps on the country could never recuperate. Under the US rules, no agencies will do business with Venezuela We must fight for freedom, for Democracy. Alleviate the Social Economical Suffering Improve the quality of life Promote Human Rights Promote freedom and security Fight for Justice Separation of Powers, and More power for more People Free Press The Right to an Opinion The Right to expression Violence must be eliminated We are to help to battle, hunger and poverty

Free Trade is the Right Way Going back to the situation in Brazil and its latest efforts to fight corruption, there is a good amount of Faith that Brazil will emerge from the regretful path it has taken in the past and has still a chance to occupy the same position as before. The biggest US trade partner. REGARDING ARGENTINA Governor Rick Scott brought in Argentina’s Minister of Production Luis Almagro Lemes. In his last Business Mission to Argentina, Governor Rick Scott saw the potential the country has, he appreciates the changes President Mauricio Macri made and feels that Argentina shows a positive business profile, showing the exercise of Democracy, and consequently deserving the US support to more trade operations with partners in the US. When asked about his success, the minister affirmed that what Argentina wants is to be a normal country, that wants: • • • •
Prosperity to all, Build Relationships To be a Full Democratic Nation To be a source of Investment from abroad • An Argentina integrated to the world The Minister also said that many steps to achieve this are already in motion, and others are still to come They have created an Investment Agency to answer questions and provide information to all interested in investing.
We find many times that the law is manipulated to fit other purposes, facilitating other regimes to grow and it becomes hard to change that structure that is compromised politically, economically and socially VENEZUELA Venezuela right now is the Dictatorship of the twentieth Century. Violations such as: • Protesters Assassination by torture. • Human Rights inequality • Violence without cause • Corruption • Human Traffic • Drug Traffic • Terrorism • Lack of Human Rights The fight is constant against the ones who are establishing business relations with countries who are disrespecting Democracy. These countries have a tradition of terror and constant human rights violations. The Venezuelan Tradition of disrespect to freedoms, to safety, supporting delinquency, and organized crime, needs to end. The Castro Chavismo has institutionalized crime and corruption, supported the creation of Infamous Laws, and the violation of fundamental rights. In Bolivia, the right to own property, freedom of thinking, the right of reunion, association and to have an opinion, is no longer valid. They forgot that the will people is the fundamental bade for public power.
