Gladys Gonzalez-Friends

Gladys Gonzalez paints large-format abstracts with acrylics on canvas, evoking the grandeur and mysticism of stained glass. Intense colors and heavy black lines form a body of work that is fragmented yet tight-knit; her style is immediately recognizable and has a great impact. “It is vibrant, colorful and… define[s] a particular scene or daily event,” she explains. Gonzalez is focused on capturing ordinary moments and making them something more. A common theme is an expression of happiness and optimism that shines through her work, the result of the artist’s belief that art is a way of sharing the best moments of our lives. Inspired by the Surrealist movement, Cubism and Pop art, Gonzalez seeks to merge elements of those styles in her work and form a new style she calls “New-Pop.” Ambitious and bold, her work displays a refreshing new perspective.
Gladys Gonzalez was born in Venezuela, and she worked as an architect for many years in Venezuela and Spain before deciding to move to Canada. Her art has been shown in several exhibitions and events.
