Considering I went to Marketing &amp;\u00a0Advertising\u00a0University instead (I didn\u2019t believe I could succeed as an artist in Brazil), I felt I had to make up for the lost time.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ever since I was little, I remember loving to draw people. I have always been fascinated by hands and the human body in general. Finding the League in NY was a blessing! I painted every day at school and at home on the weekends. I worked on some three different canvases each week. My commitment to becoming\u00a0great at it had me volunteering at the MoMA, being the class monitor for the ASL, and having shows whenever I could. My early portraits got me a few awards, including being chosen to exhibit at Agora Gallery in SOHO (Manhattan). I spent several years dedicated to mainly painting figurative art. Of course, I would do a landscape here and there, but it was people that moved my heart.<br><br>Unfortunately, selling random people\u2019s portraits was not so easy, so I started working more and more on landscapes and still life. Don\u2019t get me wrong, I do love painting landscapes also, but there is something to figurative that simply moves me. So, I have recently realized I have to get back to my nudes, portraits, and sometimes, a few\u00a0politically incorrect pieces.<br><br>If you are interested in following my uncensored Instagram account, find me at\u00a0@fercaggianoart\u00a0&#8211; out of respect to some of my conservative crowd, I am trying to keep it all separated. The \u201ceasy on the eye\u201d art is on my\u00a0@fercaggianoInstagram account.<br><br>I am adding a few below for those interested in looking at some of my latest nudes for your appreciation.
