ABOUT THE ARTWORK

It is with great excitement that I share with you my series of artworks titled Revelation. In these paintings, I sought to explore the multifaceted concept of revelation, a word that evokes a deep sense of discovery, revelation and transcendence. Each canvas in this series is an invitation to contemplation, a window into the unknown, where the essence of revelation unfolds before our eyes. On the surface, I present abstract paintings, where colors and shapes intertwine in a ballet of visual expression. However, the distinctive element lies in the semi-transparent weave that reveals itself beneath the abstract layer. This semi-hidden wetfs represents the complexity of existence and the interconnectedness of all things. It symbolizes the veils that hide the ultimate truth, the mysteries that wait to be unveiled. When looking closer, the viewer will realize that through these wefts, a deeper image emerges, as if something is about to be revealed. To inform my research into the word revelation, I delved into the depths of philosophy, modern science, and theology. In philosophy, revelation is often associated with the search for ultimate truth, with understanding the world beyond appearances. In this sense, my works invite the viewer to question the nature of reality and explore the mysteries of the universe. In modern science, revelation can be seen as the discovery of new knowledge and understandings about the cosmos. Just as scientists unlock the secrets of the universe through observation and experimentation, my art seeks to reveal hidden aspects of existence, inviting the viewer on a journey of discovery and wonder. Finally, in theology, revelation is often understood as the divine communication of truth to human beings. My paintings do not necessarily seek to convey a specific religious message, but rather explore the idea of ​​a transcendent revelation, which goes beyond the limitations of language and culture.

Paulo Gnecco emerges as a multifaceted artist whose work transcends traditional boundaries, seamlessly weaving together elements of scientific inquiry, artistic expression, and social reflection. With a background in biology serving as the bedrock of his creative journey, Gnecco's exploration of nature, abstraction, and societal themes is imbued with a profound sense of depth and complexity. Born in 1984 in Sao Paulo amidst the vibrant tapestry of Brazilian culture, Paulo Gnecco was captivated by the rich diversity of his surroundings from an early age. His academic pursuits led him to delve into the intricacies of biology, where he developed a keen eye for observation and an insatiable curiosity about the natural world. Through his studies, Gnecco began to recognize the interconnectedness of all living things, laying the foundation for his later artistic endeavors. ​ It was during his studies in biomedicine that Gnecco's passion for art began to blossom, drawing inspiration from a diverse array of artistic influences, including Frank Stella, Mark Rothko, Robert Rauschenberg, Gerhard Richter, Jackson Pollock, Sean Scully, Anselm Kiefer, Bridget Riley, and Ding Yi. Inspired by their bold experimentation and innovative techniques, Gnecco embarked on a journey to translate his observations of nature into abstract expressions of form and color. ​ Armed with his scientific background, Gnecco embarked on a quest to transform his observations of the natural world into vibrant works of art. Drawing upon concepts from modern science and the principles of evolutionary theory, Gnecco sought to capture the essence of life's evolutionary journey on canvas. His artistic language, characterized by the creation of threads superimposed on images and vibrant colors in the background, serves as a visual metaphor for the interconnectedness of all living things. ​ In addition to his exploration of nature and abstraction, Paulo Gnecco delves into the complex tapestry of Brazilian culture, grappling with themes of Brazilianness, social justice, and political commentary in his work. Drawing inspiration from Brazilian popular arts and folklore, Gnecco's art serves as a reflection on the societal issues facing his homeland. Through his bold use of color and imagery, Gnecco invites viewers to confront the realities of contemporary Brazil, sparking dialogue and introspection.
