THE STORY

Gloria Da Silva, a North London-based narrative painter and illustrator, draws on her Angolan heritage to weave cultural prints and poetry into personal stories of navigating life as a black woman. Jovita, Maria and Luzia celebrates the diversity of black hair and the transformation that unfolds in the bedroom, activating the figure’s autonomy through reflections. Some engage in an oppositional gaze as they react to their surveillance.

About the artist

Introduction to Gloria

Gloria Da Silva, is a narrative figure painter and illustrator based in North London. Underpinned by her Angolan heritage, Da Silva interweaves cultural prints and poetry with my personal stories of navigating the world as a black woman. Utilising mirrors, Da Silva twists the physics of reflections to activate the agency of the figures within her paintings. Creating lines through the gaze, some are immersed in the moment while others break the fourth wall and exercise oppositional gaze with the audience. "Engaging in subtle contact whether it be a hug or a fleeting touch of a pinky finger, I make this kind of art as a way to slow down and focus on the mundane. When I survey historical British art, black people are regularly left unnamed and merged into the background. 'What is rest and who is allowed to do so?' is a question I continue to explore."
