The work of local artist Gabriela Bornstein will be exhibited at The Consulate General of Brazil in New York, from December 10, 2024 to January 27, 2025. The Brazilian-born and New York-based, Bornstein is a mixed media artist whose work deeply engages with themes of identity, heritage, and human connection. Her artistic practice bridges the personal and collective histories of her life in New York and her roots in Brazil, allowing her to explore the complexities of ancestry, cultural diversity, and shared humanity.
Gabriela’s artistic practice is a continuous journey of exploration and connection, weaving together personal heritage, social consciousness, and a deep empathy for the human experience. Her work transcends the boundaries of medium and subject, moving fluidly between painting, mixed media, and portraiture to engage with themes of identity, memory, and cultural diversity and is a testament to the power of observation and storytelling.
