Rob Gonsalves
Imagine Artist
Rob Gonsalves was born in Toronto, Canada in 1959.
His main childhood hobby was drawing from imagination in various media.
By age twelve, his interest in architecture
made him learn perspective drawing techniques
and he began to do his first paintings and renderings
of imagined buildings.
After an introduction to the surrealist styles of Dali and Tanguy,
he began his first paintings at age sixteen.
In his post college years, Rob worked full time as an architect,
painting murals, theatre set painting and other projects
in his spare time.
After his enthusiastic response in 1990 at the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition,
Rob decided to paint full time.
Although most people categorize his work as surrealistic,
Rob believes his work differs from pure surrealism
due to the fact that his work is deliberately planned
and results in conscious thought.
His ideas are largely generated by the external world
(which many surrealists try to ignore)
and involve recognizable human activities;
using carefully planned illusionists devices.
Rob tries to inject a sense of magic into otherwise realistic scenes.
As a result, the term "Magic Realism" describes his work accurately.
His work is an attempt to represent
human beings desire to believe is the impossible.
