Artist Ozz Franca was born in 1928 in Brazil. He showed a great talent for art at an early age. In Sao Paulo at the Spring Salon show he won first prize for his art at the mere age of fourteen. After his graduation from art school, Franca went to the United States on a scholarship and moved permanently to Los Angeles. There he became the first Brazilian to work as a cartoonist on a Disney film, and he became an Olympic swimmer. Franca also created impressive pastel paintings with Native American and South American subject matter. He created his stunning and vibrant images by looking at black & white photos taken by his daughter, and without the distraction of the photographic colors Franca was free to invent his own color palette. Ozz Franca's imagination, innovative nature, and hard work earned him many awards and successes up until his death in 1991. |
