Biography

Daniel Gonçalves is a self-taught draughtsman and painter from Porto (b.1977) with a deeply genuine creative streak. This gift, combined with a hyperactive personality, led him from an early age to understand the world and to relate to it through his artistic expression. For the last decade he has participated in multiple collective exhibitions held in Porto. In the course of his experimentations searching for a personal style, he has always revealed a particular attention for lines, shapes and colours. Lately he has presented obsessive black-and-white geometric abstract drawings, though spotted by organic elements: a repetitive minimal aesthetic that is more circular than linear.
