Sunday Evening Art Gallery — Andre Muniz Gonzaga

Andre Muniz Gonzaga, aka Dalata, is one of Brazil’s foremost street artists who turns haphazard, porous, or cracked surfaces into bizarre, misshapen faces with his unique style of street art portraiture.Gonzaga was born and raised in Belo Horizonte,  Brazil.

Gonzaga creates abstract and surreal paintings on irregularly shaped surfaces in rundown areas that contain deformations, stains, mold or cracks in the environment.

He creates his work on some irregular objects in a style of abstract and surrealism using variety of techniques – painting, drawing and sculpture.Through his inspiration, he shows us the difference between graffiti and mural art with a work that combines abstraction and surrealism in a variety of techniques.His rock portraits stand out because of their unusual contrasting effect of painting on the shape and texture of a stone or irregular surface.Although he also works on canvases, he primarily likes to breathe new life into austere environments, and his urban art is not just about painting on the walls of buildings; he also seeks to spread the idea that his free art can be found anywhere, even in the most dilapidated and hideous environments, where poverty has taken hold.More of Andre Muniz Gonzaga’s remarkable murals can be found at https://www.flickr.com/photos/andregonzagadalata/ and https://designyoutrust.com/2015/07/the-distorted-street-faces-of-andre-muniz-gonzaga-2/#goog_rewarded.
