ABOUT
By Ulisses Lociks
Paulo Govêa is an internationally recognized artist who has had exhibitions in Brazil, Chile, Spain, and the United States.
In his unique way of stylizing his characters, we may note that his stylistic identity
coexists harmoniously with broad and comprehensive subjects of the mass culture.
Among the sources of inspiration for the artist, some of his works show a surrealistic touch with the uncommon manner in which elements - which bear strong symbolic meaning around the main characters - are arranged, or even when the artist plays with the object-background relationship, transforming the characters into a stage for patterns and figures that propose another form of representation of the individuals.
With abundant color, coherence, and creativity, Paulo Govêa creates works that are rich in form and meaning. He demonstrates an artistic maturity that will stand the test of time.
