S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Brazilian photographer and entrepreneur Jo\u00e3o Henrique de Orl\u00e9ans e Bragan\u00e7a opened a photo exhibition in Cairo, Egypt. Known as prince Jo\u00e3ozinho, he is great-great-grandson of Dom Pedro II and son of Brazilian prince Jo\u00e3o Maria de Orl\u00e9ans e Bragan\u00e7a from Brazil and Egyptian princess F\u00e1tima Chirine. The show exhibits images of the Siwan Oasis, Egypt, and the Brazilian city of Paraty. It was opened for visitation last Sunday (10) and may be seen until April 1st<\/sup>.

Named \u201cSiwa and Paraty, Sand and Sea,\u201d the exhibition shows landscapes from both places from different perspectives, contrasting the quiet scene of the oasis with the dynamic reflex and vibrant colors of Paraty. Prince Jo\u00e3ozinho lives in Paraty, a touristic city and a National Historic Heritage that combines natural, historic and architectural attractions.<\/p>\n

The photographer also has ties to Egypt, having visited and photographed the country several times. The oasis whose pictures are shown at the exhibition is 500 kilometers away from Cairo, near the Libyan border. It holds the ruins of the Temple of Amon, which is supposed to have been built by the pharaoh Amasis. The place is composed mainly by desert and palm trees.<\/p>\n

According to material published by Zamalek Art Gallery<\/a>, which presents the exhibition, the prince\u2019s interest in capturing the beauty of both Brazil and Egypt has even deeper roots in his life and his family. The exhibition text mentions the extensive trips Jo\u00e3o undertook around Brazil to photograph as well as his work in Egypt. \u201cHis Egyptian roots have also carried him to travels in Egypt in which he photographed its people, culture and landscapes,\u201d says the release.<\/p>\n

This is the first time Jo\u00e3o\u2019s work is exhibited in Cairo, according to the gallery, which is based in the neighborhood of Zamalekand. It presents modern and contemporary art by artists from Egypt and the entire Arab region. The gallery has spaces for two shows. The exhibition \u201cSiwa and Paraty\u201d is at Venue II. The Brazilian photographer was present at the opening event. Visitation is free.<\/p>\n
