Biography
“The talent in favor of the imagination ... Everything is expressed in movement in the
sound of our subconscious and each artist has an orchestra
different, for me the abstract symbolizes life."
Ana Gonçalves, Portuguese artist, was born in 1959 in Mopeia, Mozambique. She lives
today between Porto and Nantes.
Artistic approach :
As far as I can remember, I have always been fascinated by movement, rhythm
music and the freedom it provides, probably because I was frequently bedridden
in my childhood.
I am seduced by the abstraction which gives the artist the freedom to trust his
intuition and feel particularly close to abstract expressionism. Very early, thanks
to the works of Jackson Pollock, Wassily Kandinsky, Kazimir Malevich, I realized that
the asymmetry, the curves and the slants could suggest dynamism, life.
From a restricted palette of vibrant color pigments and techniques
mixtures, I try to create a symbiosis between colors and texture to
evoke the passage from one world to another and challenge the viewer.
