Galeria Central

Galeria Pontes

"Galeria Pontes is exclusively dedicated to popular art. It is the result of the loving sunny outlook of Edna Matosinho de Pontes,  who travelled all over Brazil in search of pieces that inventively expressed the magic of Brazilian people and the force of our nature.
When choosing artists and pieces, Edna let herself be guided by passion, but always sought for the horizons of authentic creativity. Thus, with patience and the necessary obstinacy, Edna Matosinho de Pontes amassed a rich and diversified collection. The works come from several very distant Brazilian regions – they were made in the Amazon forest, in the Mato Grosso swampland, in the Goiás thickets, in the Jequitinhonha valley, in Minas Gerais, in the Pernambuco hinterland, summing up the local wide world they came from. The ensemble forms a landscape of the Brazilian soul, presenting a country dreamt of by its people, with exuberance, mysticism and sensuality.
Galeria Pontes  is in itself sunny, a rainbow. A space full of vitality. Energy that springs up non-stop, because popular art is germinal, full of life. "
