A curation by Jessica L, Head of Exhibitions at - Maria João Gamito has been painting for over 30 years, and that experience really shows in the way she handles color and movement. Originally from Mozambique and trained across Portugal, Austria, and France, her work carries a mix of influences that feels both grounded and intuitive. She moves easily between landscape and abstraction, often using bold colors and expressive gestures. There’s a sense of freedom in how she paints, especially in the way she uses brushes and palette knives to build her compositions. What stands out most is the energy in her work. There’s a clear connection to nature, but also something more imaginative and emotional. The paintings feel alive, generous, and full of light.
