BIO. / Duda Penteado In 1996, shortly after arriving in New York City, Duda began working with the late Sheila Marbain, an experienced and respected master printer who worked with Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Robert Rauschenberg. In 1999, he received the Urban Artist Fellowship Award from the Institute for Civil Society to complete an artist residency at the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson,Vermont in the United States.

To that effect, he has received many grants for the continuation and expansion of his work, from sources as diverse as the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation and The Goldman Sachs Group. Duda has also received many awards in recognition of his work. In 2003, the late Glenn Cunningham, then Jersey City’s mayor, presented Duda with a Key to the City. In the same year, he was named a Special Guest for Artistic Achievement & Commitment to Youth from the YMCA of Greater New York. Duda also received the Community Service Golden Age Award from the Latino Gerontological Center in 2005, and an Industry Service Award from Dress for Success of Hudson County, NJ in 2007. Most recently, he received the 2009 Humanitarian Award from the Hudson County Chapter of the American Conference on Diversity.

Duda has been featured on UPN 9, CN8, Channel 47, NBC and FOX. His work, including his first book of fine art, Beauty for Ashes (2003), has been featured on Manhattan Connection, internationally throughout Brazil, Portugal, and in the United Kingdom through the GNT network.
