Pamella Gomes

Inspired by her eclectic experiences of being in the world, Pamella Gomes broadens her artistic practice into a multidisciplinary, endless, and active experiment. Her exploration of what it means to be is also lead by philosophical and cultural research (especially Buddhist and Amazonian ways of living). One of the key ideas that marvel her is “interbeing”, and this is where Gomes finds the link between art and audience and life itself, the everything in-between. 

Her reflections on how art changes the way we interact with the world tend to grow towards performance art; Gomes nourishes an idea and gives it a space and time to flourish in the presence of the audience. She aims to allow for experiences which are ephemeral and all-encompassing, to flow through, and focuses on the visual and auditory senses, as a way to communicate the sense of interbeing.   

Gomes’ ideas keep being recycled and filtered through a variety of mediums and formats including photography, video, books, installation, painting, drawing, sculpture, and sound. This is a way to explore how different mediums have the capability to connect to each other, to the artist and to the audience, whilst keeping the process of making an exciting learning experience.
