Sonia Gomes, a renowned artist born in 1948 in Caetanopolis, Brazil, is known for her unique ability to bring the natural world into her artwork. While she has primarily worked indoors, her recent project at Storm King marks her first venture into outdoor installations. According to Ossei-Mensah, Gomes’ connection to the land has become more prominent in this project, with wood serving as a canvas for her intricate paintings and sewing.

Gomes has always been fascinated by the ratios found in nature, particularly the Fibonacci sequence. This fascination is evident in her choice of 13 pendants for the Storm King installation and 34 for a mesmerizing installation at the Pinacoteca museum in São Paulo. Her work is deeply rooted in nature and reflects her reverence for the environment.

For Gomes, the opportunity to exhibit her work outdoors feels long overdue. As Lawrence puts it, her art cannot be separated from the natural surroundings of trees, greenery, and the sky above. This seamless integration with nature adds a new dimension to Gomes’ work and allows viewers to experience her art in a more immersive way.

Born to a Black mother and a white father, Gomes faced challenges in her early life that shaped her artistic journey. Raised by her father’s family after her mother’s death, she struggled to find a connection to her African heritage. Despite societal expectations, Gomes pursued her passion for art and eventually found solace in self-expression through clothing.

After studying law and feeling unfulfilled, Gomes took a leap of faith and enrolled in art classes at Guignard University. It was here that she discovered true freedom in creating art and embraced her identity as an artist. Despite facing criticism for her medium and identity, Gomes remained steadfast in her pursuit of artistic expression.

Her perseverance paid off, and she began exhibiting her work in galleries in Minas Gerais before gaining recognition on a global scale. Represented by Mendes Wood DM and Pace, Gomes continues to push boundaries and challenge conventional definitions of art.

Sonia Gomes’ journey from self-taught artist to internationally acclaimed sculptor is a testament to her resilience and unwavering commitment to her creative vision. Her ability to seamlessly blend nature, heritage, and artistry in her work sets her apart as a truly unique and inspiring artist.
