Devaneio (2018) Painting by Paulo Gonzalez

I don't have a background in art, but for over 33 years I've been expressing my feelings in color, lots of color, and usually bold color. I ignore form limitations and no commitment to the realistic. I paint as a form of fun and with the intention of making those who see my works happy and getting a smile. I'm Brazilian, from the State of São Paulo and here, where I live, there are many strong colors that strongly influence me, especially in the summer with very well defined colors. In all my paintings red, yellow and orange are mainly present and most of the time influences from nature. Most are abstract themes. The artists that most influence me are Van Gogh and Monet. I also really like photographs, with themes of local vegetation.
