ABOUT THE MAESTRO FERJO
Where Dream Meets Reality Surrealist artist Ferjo creates a whimsical world of contradictions. By Holly Jackson ABN Editorial Assistant A fish and strawberry adorn the canvas to represent life; a butterfly is suspended in the air to represent freedom. And such is the multifaceted work of Brazilian-born artist Ferjo, whose art—created in his signature Surrealist style—make up a body of work as diverse as the items floating in his artwork. “A teacher at my school told me I had something that nobody had—this ability to paint portraits and landscapes,” the artist says. “It’s more difficult because there are millions of artists who paint classically. That’s why I paint ‘dream and reality.’ There’s almost a classical theme, and at the same time, it’s a dream when you look at it.” Born Fernando de Jesus Oliveir
In early June , William and Alberta, with two-month-old Eleanor, arrived in Los Angeles for a visit with the Binford family. "Mr. McCloskey is an artist of some note and is now making his first visit to the Pacific Coast. Should he find a suitable opening, we understand he will take up his residence in our city."[17] By , the Binford family was living together at Temple, although within a year they permanently settled at Temple, where they were joined by William and Alberta. Most of Alberta's brothers were clerks or tellers in various banks, and by Alberta's father Henry entered the real estate field.
In , Los Angeles was anticipating "boom" times with the arrival of the Santa Fe railroad that would bring competition to the monopolizing Southern Pacific. The town's population was beginning to explode, and Los Angeles was just starting to develop a permanent artist community.[18] Although there were not yet any art clubs or art schools, there were fifty to one hundred "artists" ranging from many amateurs and china painters to a few professionals; the McCloskeys' abilities ranked them far above all the others. By November the couple had taken a studio in Childs' Grand Opera House

Born Fernando de Jesus Oliveira in Bahia, Brazil in , the artist who goes by the simple name of Ferjo is one of the most dynamic and intriguing artists on the contemporary American scene. His surreal, even metaphysical way with a canvas has been lauded earlier, with Ferjo winning the prestigious Crescent Scholarship at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and the New York council for the Arts Award for Excellence in portraiture. Ferjo's work partakes of both the old masters and the 20th century surrealists, Vermeer and deChirico, of the hieroglyphs of the waking eye and the technicolor bounty of the eye asleep, in dreams. Ferjo is a master painter with a style he can truly call his own, a style which reassures the heart with its beauty, while astounding the perceptions with constant visual surprise.

Personal History
Fernando de Jesus Oliveira—now known affectionately to all as Ferjo—was born in in Salvador, Brazil. His father was a barbershop owner, and his mother tended to their family of five sons and two daughters.
His parents had their hands full supporting and caring for their seven children, and Ferjo had to learn at an early age how entertain himself. While his brothers spent many hours kicking soccer balls in the streets, Ferjo found that his interests lay elsewhere. Soon he was drawing with crayons and paper and, amazingly, by the age of 8, Ferjo knew that his destiny was to be an artist.
