Romulo Gonçalves

Since graduating from School of Art and Design, UEL in London with an MA in Fine Art, Rómulo Gonçalves has been active internationally, exhibiting in Portugal, France, Italy, United Kingdom, United States and China. In his paintings and installations Romulo Gonçalves tries to combine what e calls the “power of intervention” as an intuitive action and social / philosophical reflection, versus certain psychological intrinsic qualities that can relate to the viewer as “alive” in the sense that it’s an identity that interacts/dialogues with the reality of our experience. He gets inspiration from the immediate everyday experience, in particular from the images and ideas that come from the global interface provided by the mass media and also from the physical contact with the elements (the textural experience).
