Inês Gato was born in 1966 in Lisbon, Portugal.
My identity comes spontaneously and intuitively.
I believe if an artist's language is forced or rationally planned, it will not be genuine.
The creative process will always remain a mystery... a journey into my inner world as I filter influences and inspirations from the outside world.
My background in communication design affects my work method.
With that software I challenge the perception of everything that surrounds me recreating and styling what I draw or photograph.
As work progresses, the painting's 'own life' manifests itself beyond my preliminary study.
After sharing a work, feedback and comments by art viewers add new meanings to it.
They are surprising at times, but always revealing and enriching.
