Fabiola Gonzales primarily works with painting and uses a combination of acrylics, oils, and pastel chalks on canvas to create gentle portraits of childhood. She draws inspiration from her own childhood memories, depicting everyday moments between childhood friends in vibrant colors like vivid blues, neon greens, and bright yellows. Her canvases not only portray simple childhood exchanges but also bring more lively scenes to life, such as birthday parties with extravagant cakes, bizarre costumes, and streamers. Gonzales’s loose brushstrokes sensitively depict portraits of infancy, showing immense care and attention to her subjects.

Fabiola Gonzales’ paintings are part of “Plaything / Play Thing,” a group show at Ginsberg, Lima, alongside Ian Teo, María Abaddon, and Vanessa Karin. The show invites viewers to explore the multifaceted dynamics of power, identity, and social expectations.
