PROFILE
GABRIELA MACIEL
Gabriela Maciel
Born in 1977, lives and works in São Paulo.
Gabriela has been exhibiting since 2000. Using diverse medias such as Painting, sculpture, installation video and photography. The artist passed through different fases in her production, that started in the late 90s. Gabriela´s artistic concepts of creation moved from expressions of a conturbate world of social disparities and a sense of displacment, to historical clashes of culture and hibridisms. Her works are filled with the idea of physical transformation by deconstruction and reconstruction to the fluid influence of bodily movements, converted into palpable matter. Breaking the boundaries of artistic expressions in many senses. Converging high-tech and low-tech, as well as collaborating with artists from several fields worldwide. Gabriela is currently researching ancient and contemporary symbolisms of plants and animals. Human conditions and beliefs it´s one of the sources for her recent creations, where she uses contemporary fragments to express basic deep human matters. In her current series of artworks, entitled the ´Delirious Chimeras´, the artist creates extremely colorful art pieces that transmit subtlety and mystery.
