Gonzalo Moreira
MOREIRA PEQ

Gonzalo Moreira was born in 1956 in the city of Granada, Nicaragua located in Central America. This beautiful city was established at the edge of the great Lake of Nicaragua and at the feet of the Volcano Mombacho, "The Sleeping Giant".
Mr. Moreira studied architecture but his inclination for the arts was stronger, so he finished his studies for the arts in the National School of Fine Arts in Nicaragua. In his younger years Mr. Moreira received the most influence for artistry from his father. His father showed him the best way to work with wood to make low, high and middle relief art. Also, different techniques of sculpture with wood. In his studies and investigations of painting he identifies with Mexican nationalism, indigenous muralists, and especially the painting style of Diego of Rivera, Clemente Orozco and Jose Luis Posada.

He finds the figuration of “The Woman” as a social symbol. His initial work features incomplete and dismembered figures, creating allegory to the war and the rural families disintegrated in pieces representing the moral and physical pain.
In his second phase that Mr. Moreira calls “fetal” he draws women without face, with elliptic forms, emphasizing the expression in the hands. He prefers drawing and in his mixed technique he utilizes the graphite, pencil of color and pigments. “Drawing is a challenge”, the artist says, “In it there are no corrections”.
Studious of Lugo, Moreira thinks that all though similar, it’s different. In its third and final phase he includes scenery (architectural influence), integrates its women with fruits simulating nature, and woman with labor, represented with clay compact objects, he intends to give to his work surrealist sense but also experiences with the abstract.

Presently, he draws the women bare as a form of imagination but from the social point of view of how women have been utilized as a product of marketing and shows the mimicry of the woman in society.
