Art galleries Ouro Preto

This artist carves saints and paints biblical scenes and misty landscapes whose reputation has gone far beyond the Minas Mountains, and rightly so. It is said in the art world of the former Vila Rica that you should visit Elias Layon's studio before visiting the first capital of Minas Gerais. The omnipresent mists in the paintings of the master will tint with permanent poetry the vision that the traveler, from here or elsewhere, will have of the city of Ouro Preto.
