Vicencia Gonsales

I am Brazilian, was born in Paraná State and I lived in Curitiba, where I graduated at FESP-PR University, in Economic Sciences. After getting married, I moved to São Paulo and there I attended Panamericana Arts School studying Art and Design.
Since I started working on Visual Arts, I experienced different phases such as painting, painting-collage, monotype with drawing and collage, metal engraving, encaustic painting, objects and installations. I also worked with drawing in surface and space.
I keep enquiring myself about the frontier and the place of art in today's world. I also take into question some subjects about contemporary art, as the territorial expansion, ephemerality of life, the use of architectonic space as an installation support.
I´ve been participating in some exhibitions in Art Salons, Museums, and Art Galleries in Brazil, Spain, Puerto Rico, earning some awards.
