Brazilian artist Vânia Quintão is offering her 2023 painting "Cold Afternoon" for sale through Inn Gallery. The acrylic-on-canvas work, sized 70 × 100 cm, depicts a suspended, cool-toned landscape under a diffuse blue sky. Quintão, a self-described cultural producer and fundraiser based in Belo Horizonte, has exhibited internationally including at the Louvre Museum in Paris and won prizes at The Holly Art Exhibition (London) and Art Connects Women (Dubai). The work is hand-signed, includes a certificate of authenticity, and is priced at US$1,500.
This listing represents the growing trend of direct-to-consumer online art sales, where emerging artists bypass traditional gallery representation to reach collectors via digital platforms. Quintão's background in literature and public policy, combined with her active exhibition history across Europe and the Middle East, illustrates how contemporary Brazilian artists are building international careers through a mix of physical exhibitions and e-commerce. The article also highlights the increasing visibility of women artists from the Global South in the online art market.
