Catia Goffinet is an artist whose work deeply explores the interaction between the individual and the collective, revealing the energy that permeates our human connections. Born in São Paulo, Brazil, she has always been fascinated by the dynamics of human relationships and the vital force that circulates within each of us, manifesting through our interactions and shared experiences. Throughout her career, she has utilized a variety of media, including painting, sculpture, and installations, to capture the essence of the duality between the self and the other.

Through layers of paint, textures, and geometric shapes, the artist invites viewers to reflect on their own inner energy and how it connects with the world around them.
