The reality is for Vera Goulart the raw material for all and any fantasy, her work is full of characters that make up a sophisticated mythological framework that accompanies her, in a continuous exercise of self-analysis and particular exorcism of childhood memories. These beings inhabit a world where the pain is translated into colors and the scars are explicit elements of the physical construction. With names, a past and individual trajectory, this fantastic community is like a puppet theater for the staging of the epic of human misery.
In drawing, painting, sculpture or performance - or in a combination of one or more of these disciplines with installation - Vera Goulart lets standout from her fabulous universe, by the use of sometimes recurrent metaphorical symbolisms, the anxiety concealed in what hinders our freedom, in the ambiguity of human relationships and in the certainty of death.
