Art Gigi "Brazilian Inspired Figurative Modern Art"

Creating art, in my conception, is a contrast between capturing the rising moment and the significant impact among the essentials in which I live by; pursuing what lives inside awakens the heart of a faithful believer. I manage to prosper by the feeling of Solitude and the essence between the moment and the contrast in expressing the abstract in pure Intention.

Since the early 1990’s, I was honored to be influenced by Dudu Santos’ Artwork and Live Performances and having had the privilege of sharing moments of his personal life and creations at his implausible art studio located in Sao Paulo City, where I was born and raised. I, myself, for many years, dreamed about his line of work and the intensity of his creations. I was truly inspired by him.

As a result, fifteen years later, in February of 2007 my first painting called the "The Secret" was produced. It was enormously representative of the long road through my own personal endeavors.

Since that moment, felt I have awakened a giant that was only in my dreams; I truly believe that.

God has gifted me with an opportunity to express myself through my art. While I'm creating, I feel the intensity of the brush strokes, my provoking spirit and blood raises out awareness of an intimate movement and a feeling of being fortunate takes over. It gets intense.

More likely; I would say my art projects my overall outlook on life, capturing high levels of sensuality and revealing, provocative forms, experiencing shapes and mixed media. I grew up with a strong sense in Visual Arts, Performances, and Entertainment.

Having an extensive background in the artistic culture is what motivated me to dedicate and share my darkest and brightest facets to all. Combining cultural dynamics and future wise, I envision unconventional ways in bringing all the elements together to impact the senses, the body, and the soul. I’m still experimenting with techniques and styles, as I believe that art is an abundant form of God’s creation.

Complex, Revealing, Intuitive, Dynamic, Perceptive, Intentional and Open minded are the key words into my personal journey in Art. I call it an ongoing process in discovering your true facets; at times Bizarre, Intense, and Unequivocal.
