b. 1994, Washington DC.

Gabriel grew up in Caracas, Venezuela and currently resides in Nashville, Tennessee. Gabriel is a self-taught artist whose practice is based primarily in oil painting.

As an America born citizen that grew up in Venezuela, Gabriel Pozzo depicts autobiographical scenes that explore the threshold and duality of his Venezuelan American identity.

Gabriel borrows from the heritage of Latin America’s ‘magic realism’ & through it the artist paints his lived experiences. The concepts of the foreign and the sublime serve as catalysts through which the work documents the artist’s past in Venezuela, explore his process of migration and speaks about integration into the American life and culture while preserving & nurturing his roots from the Caribbean region.

The formal qualities of the work present themselves as paintings that tether in between abstraction and figuration.
