quem é Dana Popa?

 fotos do livro Not Natasha de Dana Popa

Dana Popa é uma grande artista romena. Suas fotos relatam causas socias contemporâneas, com ênfase nos direitos humanos, sempre de forma extremamente bela. 
Abaixo, e-mails trocados entre Chris e Dana contam um pouco da história da Dana Popa Loja Galeria.

  
Dear Dana,

Nice to meet you digitally!
I’m Chris Valias, Brazilian, 27 years-old. I’ve spent the last two years studying photography in Barcelona and in one of the trips I’ve made around Europe (Photo Book, Kassel, Germany) I had the opportunity to know your work. And I brought a piece of it with me: your book Not Natasha.   
Back in Brazil, I’ve decided to open an art gallery in a small town in the country of Minas Gerais where I’m going to exhibit and sell photographs, paints and sculptures made by myself and other Brazilian artists. 
Because I do really admire your work and I would like to pay homage to your great photographs, I was thinking of using your name as the name of my gallery. If it’s OK with you, of course. Before I go ahead with the idea, I need your authorisation. On the gallery's website, I would add a link to your website. I would love it if you would be OK with that!
Here’s a link to my work: http://chrisvalias.com


Best Regards,
Chris Valias



Dear Chris,

It's really nice to hear from you. How kind that you got my book not Natasha from Kassel, Germany.
I would feel honored to have your gallery named after my name, thanks for asking,
if you think it is a good name for a gallery, please go ahead. I look forward to visiting it. I've never been to Brazil, so this can be a good excuse. Oh, yes, you can add a link to my website, in fact I would need to update that asap.
Some of your work is beautiful, like quite a few of the photos in infancia e coisa, especially the last one, I would like to see more of these.  Or  no10 and 13 and 14 from sopro vital, or the last one from paginas em preto e branco, nice work, well done.
I hope your art gallery will have a brilliant life,
Let's keep in touch,
and keep doing your work with love,


Best.
Dana
