Ana Gonçalves: Space

A tribute to those who seek it. Ana Gonçalves is a Portuguese artist who has held several solo and collective exhibitions during her career in Portugal and abroad. She is best known for her paintings that present an emotive and astrological perspective of the universe. Much as space seems to be receding in the world we’re used to seeing all around us, even at the surface we receive clear signs, if we care to read them, that it's all still here. Look inside the rocks, where big caves hide strange cathedrals, and you’ll see how huge crystals form as though born from secret mineral love stories – and, if you really mean to discover such love children in real explosions of glory, you have to climb so high or go down so deep that you’ll soon be noticing the priceless silence shrouding this world of wonders.
