About the Item

"Messing up art wise" with the $100 Bill has been on the artist mind for over a decade and it finally happened. Oliveira wanted to express on the $100 bill, the good and the bad side of money, fortune and power. And to express artistic wise how the United States got this point and have the most famous and valuable currency on the Planet. Some of the artist's takes are obvious, some are not. The artist invites everyone to have their own conclusions after observing well the art piece; but encourages you to concentrate on the positive and colorful part of money, fortune and power. This limited edition of only 30 prints on CANVAS is an alternative to the original piece. Each print is signed and numbered by the artist with COA: Certificate of Authenticity. **Please keep in mind that the print will look like the PRIMARY picture more the ones on the 3 rooms. All others with the glossiness of the resin are of the original piece. **The artist also invites you to check it out and search his take on the Statue of Liberty made with $100 bills entitled 'LOVABLE LIBERTY". The original has been sold and there still a hand full of the limited edition of only 30 prints on canvas or paper. Brazilian artist Mauro Oliveira creates artworks using special automotive detailing tape, acrylic paint, pencils and other creative media, finishing his artworks with several layers of resin for an immaculate and super glossy finish. The exceptionally shiny varnish gives Mauro’s pieces a delightful reflection and a finished look. Many of his geometric pieces are named after specific places and skylines that inspired the artwork. Each artwork is precisely planned out and there is little room for error with his technique, which makes each piece equally stunning. Mauro believes the artist should express their emotions and feelings through art. Each piece should have a beginning, middle and an end, with an individual outlook and interpretation for each observer. “What I might be really trying to do with my art, is to represent the complexity of the inner self in a simple clean way using vivid colors. My only hope is that every piece touches the viewer somehow.” Mauro Oliveira was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil and raised on the outskirts under extreme poverty, with no running water or electricity. He and his six siblings were sent to a military state-run orphanage after both parents passed away in their 30’s. He feels that he is living proof that people’s generosity can save lives and make dreams come true. His passion for the United States and art started at age 9 in the orphanage. An American woman, a good Samaritan, visited the orphanage looking to adopt an orphan and Mauro became close with her. However, she ended up adopting his best friend, as she did not want to separate him from his brothers and sisters. Before she left, she told him crying in broken Portuguese that if he stayed out of trouble and studied hard, he too would make it to the U.S. one day. His first art project, age 10, was to paint and decorate the plain tin piggy-banks, that were given out free by the banks and then selling them. He encouraged and supervised the other children to do the same and raised funds for food: 1000's were sold. He did stay out of trouble, studied hard and surmounted every obstacle in his way, dreaming of making it to America one day. He made it to college with straight A’s and won a student exchange program contest sponsored by the Federal University of Uberlandia, Brazil. He studied Journalism and the Arts and immigrated to the U.S. in 1990. To this day, Mauro goes back every to teach arts for his orphans piers in Sao Paulo. The latest project has been to embellish old furniture and resale them for a profit to raise money to buy the kids school materials. Mauro has worked in several different art media from oil pastels and charcoal sketches to clay sculptures. His greatest influences are Spanish artists Pablo Picasso and Joan Miro. Oliveira's artworks have been exhibited throughout the US as well as internationally, most recently in Hong Kong, Los Singapore, San Diego, Las Vegas, Sweden, SF, Angeles, New York; etc.
