Ela (2018) Painting by Branca Gonzaga

When my eyes mirror the outside world, in moments, perhaps, I can unify what I see and then blur, which makes me realize that this image, like so many others, is a composition. And that, this composition will explode. Even if you try to hold it for a while, it's gone, an eternal movement. This is how, from this continuous pulse, I approach my painting. Since I was a child I was always very curious, I liked to explore the limits of everything that warmed my chest or glowed my eyes, I never held on to an affirmative, but opened all pores of possibilities.
The perception of this continuum, I owe to the warm blood of my parents, two Paraibans (people from Paraíba state, popularly known for their strength, courage and brave), who when they speak the room heats up and where they tread. Their presence always showed me something that doesn't stop. These two have had a fighting life, telling me that if you have a dream you should roll up your sleeves and make it happen. That the energy comes from you and what you can do to get better do it, because it is you who changes and changes to make things happen.
Besides, there is this country of mine that blesses so much difference, so much mix, so many cracks, so many shocks and so many encounters.
I work on the street, I'm a street artist. In these streets that I learn with every look, every graffiti, every sign, every turn, every no, every laugh, every punch, every yes, every rain, every sunny day, and so on. , and all this learning transforms, and with me the paintings.
The most enjoyable part of being on the street is being able to tell about the work a story that each canvas has to be its own. Each of the works is full of magic, yes I believe in mystery, the extraordinary and the sacred (where everything is a magical and unique universe). This moment of telling the story, of opening, of exchange that transforms everything, is very valuable. Humanity is this moment, our stories that we exchange, that move us and thus, transform us again and again ... Art makes these stories overflow and be told.
