Gizela N, Portuguese artist, was born in Luanda in 1973 and is recognized as a multidisciplinary visual artist. Works with mixed techniques in field of painting and sculpture, the color being red and the wool thread being red, the elements that most characterize his art. Gizela N believes in the power to transform pain into love, and it is through his art that this transformation becomes visible. The color red and the wool threads connect with humanity and its most visceral emotions, such as birth and death, pain and joy, also alluding to the power of love present in the Greek myth “Ariadne's Thread” and in the Japanese legend Akai Ito. Fernando António Baptista Pereira, full professor and curator, talks about the work of Gizela N, saying that, through “sewing and darning from threads of wool, the artist reinvents a truly sculptural dimension of painting” and “the darning of the crack suggests a repair”, this being the power curator and transformer of the art of Gizela N. References like Anish Kapoor and Barbara Hepworth, take Gizela N The seek a different look at the supports you use, transforming them, reversing roles and reinventing endings, contradicting the idea of perfection. Gizela N graduated in Sculpture at the Faculty of Fine Arts of Lisbon and has already held exhibitions both nationally and internationally, including the most recent at the Project:ARTspace gallery in New York, in 2023. Since 2022, has his own gallery in Cascais, Portugal.
