Gugi Goo  

Gugi Goo is a Serbian contemporary artist who currently resides in Portugal. Goo is inspired by daily life, particularly the human condition and the various forms of connection between individuals. She is also influenced by music, lyricism and the power of words. Gugi Goo's abstract paintings are highly personal and expressive, so she often works on large canvases which allow greater freedom for experimentation. She focuses on manipulating color and light with her gestural brushstrokes, creating her own visual language that opens up a new reality. Her fundamental goal as an artist is to express the most profound human emotions through an exploration of her personal experiences and feelings. She studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Novi Sad, Serbia, and at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan, Italy. Gugi Goo has exhibited widely across Europe, in Serbia, Croatia, Italy, Spain and the UK. She has also shown her work at the Affordable Art Fair in Hamburg, Germany and the Other Art Fair in London. In 2018 she was Highly Commended for the Rise Art Prize.
