Biography

Jorge Goncalves

Born in Caracas, Venezuela, 1958. His artwork reflects his free view of painting. He attempts to present it simplistically, reflecting a relaxed nature and approach to life. Through strong colors and shapes, he seeks to convey the strength and power of men and women, who end up being one single entity. These shapes do not have the expressions that may be found in real faces or bodies. His aim is to reflect their personalities and to represent their inner expressions and their souls. His work revolves around the study of light. He tries to explore different ways of contrasting tones, in order to enhance the energy of the sun and the beauty of shadows. His artwork, can be found in different private collections in Germany, Austria, USA, UAE, England, Guatemala and Venezuela.
