About me | Heri.art

Heriberto Gomes

I am a visual artist specializing in painting, sculpture, installations and contemporary art, with a focus on creating concept-driven works. My goal is for the viewer to connect with the artwork, reflect, and take away a message, an experience, and a lesson. In this space, I will share more details about my artistic approach, my creative process, and how my works aim to generate an emotional and reflective connection with the audience.
