GEOVANNA GONZALEZ

Splitting her time between Miami and Berlin, sculptor and curator GeoVanna Gonzalez explores gender and identity in her work. “Being queer is part of my identity and my identity is inevitably embedded in my work,” she says. Her impressive pieces regularly use a variety of materials, including aluminum, steel, wood, drywall, plexiglass, acrylic paint and more. She describes her artistic style as “elegant and poetic,” incorporating “clean lines and hard edges.” “Many things inspire me to make art, but most personally, experiences I have had, as well as things that I read and research, my community, architecture and our natural landscape,” says Gonzalez. “Miami has an amazing community of artists and thinkers and it’s important for them to receive support so that they can continue to have a sustainable practice in Miami.”
