About this item: 'My granddaughter is a ballerina, and she inspired this piece, ' says Goga of her muse. 'One day I went to see her on stage, and this is one of the movements she made during her performance. That day, when I came back from the show, I started sculpting this piece. ' Goga works with bronze and displays the piece on a marble base. Titled 'Bailarina' in Portuguese. - Signed by the artist About our Artist: 'I belong to a generation in which to be an artist was not considered a good thing. I was accompanied by my father in my first experiences with drawing, and as a teenager I took a few classes. When I got married and had children, it created a gap in my learning process. I returned to the study of art in 1970, at the School of Visual Arts in Rio de Janeiro. From then on I never stopped pursuing my interest in art. I achieved a free form of personal expression in the classes of Prof. Aluizio Carvao at the Museum of Modern Art. I define my style as Contemporary Figurativism and focus on themes related to ecology. I just create the forms with the brush without sketching them out. In 1975, I discovered the pleasure of sculpting. An artist never creates for him or herself. Knowing that someone else identifies with something I created gives me tremendous sense of satisfaction. I hope that through Novica I will be able to reach more people and that I will be recognized for my art.
