BFK Books' Participation in the Bahia Book Biennial Highlights the Publisher's Strength in the Publishing Market

BFK Books' presence at the Bahia Book Biennial last weekend reinforced how essential literary events are for the growth of the publishing market and the promotion of new talent. With over 30 individual book launches and five anthologies bringing together more than 150 co-authors, the publisher intensely engaged the audience. The result was a strong performance, with high demand for titles and almost all copies sold out during the event. The Biennial provided a conducive environment for something that goes beyond book sales: the building of real connections. Readers had the opportunity to meet the authors in person, participate in autograph sessions, and experience stories that transcend the pages. This direct contact not only strengthens interest in reading but also inspires new writers. By experiencing the launch of a book and interacting with the public, many aspiring authors find motivation to continue producing and expanding their presence in the literary world. For BFK Books, participating in events like the Bahia Book Biennial is an investment in the future of literature, building bridges between stories, people, and opportunities, as well as fulfilling its purpose of educating readers, discovering authors, and transforming lives through books.

BFK Books at Bahia Digital Summit 2026

Caroline Borba, Editor-in-Chief of BFK Books, participated in the Bahia Digital Summit 2026, offering a practical and strategic reflection on the use of books as a professional positioning tool. During her presentation, held at the NH Hotel in Feira de Santana and organized by the Bahia Bahia Portal, she emphasized that, more than just writing, it's necessary to understand the complete editorial process, from manuscript construction to the delivery of a final product aligned with standards and the market, with the goal of boosting your digital presence or increasing your company's performance. Caroline explained the differences between ebooks, digital books, physical books, and audiobooks, highlighting that each format has specific objectives within an authority strategy. When discussing the concept of Amazon Best Seller, she emphasized that achieving this recognition requires planning, a team, and structured execution—something that, according to her, is part of the methodology applied by the publisher. Another central point was the impact of books on professional careers. The speaker demonstrated how publishing can expand portfolios, strengthen credibility, and generate new opportunities, such as courses, lectures, and derivative products. She also addressed the value of biographies and autobiographies as tools for connecting with audiences and building a legacy. The presentation also included guidance for professionals working with children's literature, as well as the importance of anthologies as a strategy for outreach, networking, and cost reduction.

Spanish artist Arroyo Ceballos participates in the congress and exhibition on Chromatic Pyramidism that will be held next month in Argentina

Arroyo Ceballos

Arroyo will exhibit pyramid works of his authorship created in the last three years and will participate with a conference

Chromatic Pyramidism is a new pictorial movement created by the Ecuadorian master Gotasi about ten years ago and whose foundation gives a very characteristic way of interweaving brushstrokes, lines and colors, creating fabrics of unmistakable shapes, which can not only give realism, surrealism or abstractionism; but they can reach hyperrealism by taking up the planes, volumes, rhythms, statics and movement, always preserving that pyramidal and chromatic staggered character and of course, in a very special way, the “vibration” of the elements.

It is the new pictorial current for the history of the new avant-garde, which weaves together all the currents without copying or representing them precisely, with a homogeneous atmosphere, both objective and subjective, but with a peculiarity not only of thematic significance, but of visual richness and that visualizes each particle that forms the depth of the perspective or the plane of each object.

PYRAMIDISM finds infinite combinations and revives the color on the canvases, formulates different equations, dimensions and shapes.

It has been expanding significantly in recent years. Proof of this are the references that we can find not only in America but in Asia, Africa and Europe.

With respect to Europe, it should be noted that it was born from the support or collaboration between Gotasi, creator of the movement, and the prominent Spanish multidisciplinary artist Arroyo Ceballos, who appears to us as the European precursor of this movement. Later other artists would arrive in Spain, among which we highlight José Domínguez.

Arroyo focuses the European movement on the artistic level since we remember that depending on the country or type of culture there are others that not only argue for pyramidism in this artistic sense but also in the religious, spiritual, or even musical sense.

Promotional poster

Arroyo Ceballos talks about his work:

"The fullness of space, the sense of forms, certainly reach their maximum apogee in the mind of the creator. If we add to this the firm obsession with creating "the work", the one that everyone dreams of and very few manage to achieve, we can say at the very least that we are faced with an elaborate work, designed in concept and a firm hoarder of formal figurative-symbolic elements, which without a doubt form the basis, together with tonality and a mixed technique, the basis and support of all my work.

The key to it is simplicity, the smooth transmission of a whole within the purity of basic strokes and the use of a particular mixed technique that gives the work the desired relief and texture. A substantial inclination towards everything that minimalism entails taken in the broad sense of the word, in the broad sense of its meaning and predicate.

My bet focuses on the investigation of a material universe in which the pyramidal projection is the fundamental basis, in which movement and vibration give meaning and mark the path to each work of art, in which the creator synthesizes the elements and directs them to the viewer transmuting them in the form of abstraction so that he himself voluntarily becomes a participant in the creative process through the assimilation of his own reality and the conceptualization of the great spectral field represented.

On the other hand, and with respect to the pyramid movement, he tells us:

"There is no doubt that this movement is acquiring character and meaning, even more so after its presentation at the United Nations.
