I met Gustavo in Berlin, when I was Ambassador of Brazil in the Federal Republic of Germany. Two of his works are exhibited in a prominent place in the Embassy. Simplicity and lightness of shape, the movement of the elements that make up each painting, their compositions of great expressive force and power of attraction stand out in both works. Above all, I was impressed by the originality and eclecticism that Gustavo prints in his work; these are marks —maybe marks of the border itself— that show deep understanding of the places where he travels.
The Embassy of Brazil is proud to receive Gustavo Dalinha’s exhibition, an artist from Brazilian and Río de la Plata origin, author of a synthesis of different traditions and experiences, accumulated over decades, of cultural exchange with the societies he lived in. I invite you all to share his visions and discoveries.
