Brandusa Niro: Fashion Icon & Portrait Artist, Capturing the Extraordinary Women Who Graced and Shaped Her Life and Career

Art Collectors and aficionados are invited to experience the ethereal portraits of Brandusa Niro, lifelong painter and fashion media titan, in a fine art exhibition with Avant Gallery Booth #711 at Art Palm Beach January 22 – 26, 2025. The fair takes place at the Palm Beach County Convention Center, where guests will enjoy an Opening Night Premiere on Wednesday, January 22nd from 5pm – 9pm. Art Palm Beach is internationally renowned as the premiere mid-winter contemporary art fair in The Palm Beaches along Florida’s coastline by both art critics and enthusiasts.

Brandusa Niro, a contemporary multi-disciplinary artist based in Palm Beach and New York, traces her artistic lineage back to her upbringing in Romania. Immersed in a family of creatives, her aunt Geta Caragiu renowned as a sculptor and her uncle Toma Caragiu a famous actor in both film and theatre, Niro’s artistic journey started very early. Brandusa began garnering recognition by winning Romanian National art competitions and captivating audiences on the silver screen, starring in the biggest blockbuster Romanian film “Uncle Marin, the Billionaire,” Niro’s talents shone brightly.

Relocating to the United States, Niro became a titan in the media and publishing worlds eventually becoming Senior Vice President at IMG Media. In 2002, she laid the foundation for her legacy by founding the esteemed American Fashion industry publication, The Daily Front Row, where she remains as Editor-in-Chief today. Throughout these years, Brandusa Niro continued to create artwork and is now making a full return to her greatest passion that never left.

In Brandusa Niro’s newest series of acrylic paintings entitled ‘Models’ her inspiration pays homage to the extraordinary women who have graced Niro’s life and career. With each portraits’ brushstroke, Niro conjures visions of ethereal beauty, infusing her canvases with a great use of bright colors and evoking a range of emotions and moods. A blend of realism and impressionism, Brandusa’s muses are elongated and graceful with luminous eyes that pierce the soul, while their oversized heads and unfinished hands imbue them with an otherworldly allure. The ‘Models’ series evokes senses of sexiness and sensuality yet an eerie, almost haunting, quality, inviting viewers to contemplate the transient nature of beauty itself.

“My muses’ stories begin with their eyes, they go on through the languorous movement of their bodies, their endless limbs, the mood behind the strands of hairs caressing their long necks… and from there on they ask their viewer to continue the story with their own imagination.” -Brandusa Niro.

Niro’s subjects, with their elongated forms and radiant eyes, exude a quiet strength and allure, their oversized heads and unfinished hands adding an ethereal, almost surreal dimension to the works. The series evokes a sense of sensuality and mystery, prompting viewers to reflect on the fleeting and fragile nature of beauty itself.

Collectors and art aficionados are invited to preview new works by Brandusa Niro represented by Avant Gallery in a presentation at Art Palm Beach, January 22-26, 2025 – Booth #711 at the Palm Beach County Convention Center, 650 Okeechobee Blvd, West Palm Beach, FL 33401.
