Rob Gonsalves (1959-2017)

Rob Gonsalves è stato un artista multi premiato, nato a Toronto in Canada, prima di tutto architetto e scenografo: quello era il suo mestiere prima di dedicarsi completamente alla pittura.

L'interesse per l'arte nasce sin da piccolo, quando dimostra interesse per il disegno ed a dodici anni, quando la sua attrazione si sposta verso l'architettura grazie alla quale impara le tecniche di prospettiva, che sono il mezzo ideale per dar vita alle costruzioni immaginarie.

Sebbene il lavoro di Gonsalves sia spesso classificato come surrealista, si differenzia perché le immagini sono deliberatamente pianificate e derivano da un pensiero cosciente.

Yannick Bouchard (Canadian, 1982)

I am not claiming myself as a "surrealist artist", but my art is undeniably marked by their influence. I was also very impressed by some notable fantasy artists; the way they depict beauty and sensuality, and how they bring grandiose imaginary worlds to life.

Overall, my paintings are more or less a mixture of all those types; surrealism, fantasy with a touch of symbolism and even sometimes macabre.
