Hello Gonzalo! I really love your style! This painting particular! I am a fan of contrasting colors and stylized figures. Yours is very unusual, 'cause of the detail in the figure herself in combination with the stylized background, Bravo! It strenghtens eachother! greetings, Idhuna

Thank you Idhuna.

I like your series, Gonzalo! This is a great mix out of realistic figurative and pop art elements. I like very much what I sense!

Thanks for this interesting comment, Chris. One paints by impulses without thinking in this kind of details.

Nothing more beautiful that a pregnant woman.

Well, the beauty can be very subjective, but it's true that a pregnant woman symbolizes the most beautiful things: Life and Love.

A very saying painting- especially combined with your title. 5 stars to you. Hope you find Sweden OK, but can also see in your pics, that you miss the bulls and the sun sometimes:-)
I fully understand!

i'm glad to have some new ones of yours to look at because yours touch my soul in a very soecial way.

i love this one here..it is so alive..she is so alive and so vibrant and yet her eyes say something quite different.
the colors are amazing tho..such boldness and it jumps off the canvas at us..saying so many diferent thing...it's great!

Interesting conceptual nude, i like the use of strong warm and cool while maintaining a fairly realistic skin color
9 months
yikes...this painting is just stunning..i really love it!
i tried joining the face book, but because i already am on facebook...it had an issue with me.
lol
it wants my email address, and then it says an account already exists with that address..
so...
technically challenged here. i gave up already
lol

i am enjoying this one again gonzalo. i think you are such a fabulous artist.
4 months
Thanks Rebecca. I´m trying to avoid internet in the last days because is a kind of waste of time but it´s great to see your posts. I was thinking about what you said of some people who belong to the same side of the universe of some other concrete people and you are right. It´s always nice to discover it.

Thankyou Gonzalo! RE: correcting my Swedish. My bestfriend from school lives outside of Gottenberg? Did I get that right? Hmmm...obviously for me, dating a Swedish never helped my memory! LOL!...Anyway - Your Painting...who is this lovely pregnant lady?? To be honest - I never had a baby in my life - But no matter what - it has to be a lonely terrifying experience! The body changes and the rest of it uuugh!!! Shocking! God Bless all birth mothers! I see a chair and a door. Does she need a break- to sit? or an escape route? Which would you choose - if feeling alone??? Hmmm...Poignant!
2 months
Lol. It reminds me a friend of mine who never wanted to have a baby because she felt that was like to carry an alien... The chair, for me, represents the loneliness and in the door is a shape of somebody (arriving or leaving I did not ask her). Ah... No idea of who is the woman :)

Intense colors for an intense subject.. Excellent! 5*****!

que panzón! està a punto de caramelo! :))
bueno yo la interpretación que habia dado a la silla y la puerta era màs la de un hogar y la llegada de un nuevo miembro, leyendo lo que has escrito que la silla representa la soledad y viendo los contrastantes colores de tensión no me sembra tan dulce, o a lo mejor es la visión de la maternidad de un hombre? :)) saludos esti
2 months
Grazie Esti. El cuadro se llama "Casi sola" y nunca me pareció dulce, en esta situación representa cómo afronta la maternidad una mujer sola. Tampoco me parece una visión masculina. De todos modos sí creo que tiene amor pero también soledad. Buon Natale (nunca mejor dicho) e Felice Anno Nuovo.
2 months
tienes razòn no es cuadro dulce tan solo q al inicio me pareció "la creación de un hogar" despues los colores rojo y verde me dieron otra visión y finalmente cuando leí tus palabras me dí cuenta que el tema era más "profundo" todavía... Si es verdad, no había leído el titulo :)... lo de la visión masculina era tan solo una broma estupidilla y ahora que me leo si es cierto que era estupida... Feliz año nuevo Gonzalo!

incredibly beautiful pregnant woman. i love the black line against the soft body. to me kind of like female/male, yin/yang, waiting to give birth the door to new life, and the green hair to me may symbolize the newness of it all. love the painting, really good

obrigado Gonçalo, mas eu sei que las figuras estão muito mal acabadas, eu não chegei a terminar este quadro na altura mas vou terminá-lo agora. Falta-me dar forma as figuras, parecem lombrigas, sem musculos e sem extrutura ossea! Contudo também gosto da cor.

I love this..she is so strong and I love your design elements..outlining the right side with black is very strong..I like it..
