Claudemir, I'm so sorry. It is an awful feeling of violation when that happens (I've lost a couple of seminal works over the years). Let's hope the publicity wave works some wonders for you.
The eminent artist Nelson Shanks, made a huge media splash a few years ago when a certain client failed to pay the $328,000.00 fee he owed for his portrait! The public noticed that!
Good luck!
Garth

Bonfim, this is terrible news and I am very sorry to hear it. I really can't understand why they stole your work--I would think artwork would be difficult to re-sell at full value and difficult to sell, period, when the word is out that it is stolen. Media coverage should help. Make sure they print photos of the stolen work!

Thanks Garth and Alex,
The media is helping a lot, I got half page in a major tabloid. The citizens are aware now and I think the criminals will be reported sooner or later.

What a way to turn a bad situation into a potentially good one. You may find that this publicity turns out to be worth far more to you in the long run than the value of the stolen paintings.

Thanks Marina.
So far, nothing has happened.
This morning I had a live broadcast on an important radio station. I had the opportunity of explaining what had happened and of describing how the painitings looked like. It will be hard for them to sell them nearby.
Now, just out of curiosity, do you think of coming to Brazil? If so, let me know, you need to pose for me too, afer your trip to Denmark of course.
