Bio

Graciela Gonçalves Da Silva (Animalitoland) creates emotional fables where graphic discipline and painterly intuition merge. Trained in design at the University of Buenos Aires, she works across both intimate canvases and monumental murals, translating complex emotions into vibrant, stylized characters that are precise yet deeply human.

Born in Argentina and shaped by journeys across continents, her practice draws from comics’ narrative economy, street art’s vitality, and the dissonance of existing between cultures. This hybrid approach has led to over 60 murals worldwide and exhibitions across Argentina, Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Hungary, Estonia, Qatar, China, Canada and USA. She has presented at Pictoplasma Berlin, held a solo show at Madrid’s Swinton Gallery, and been featured in publications such as Street Art by Women: 50+ Essential Contemporary Artists (Hoaki Press).

Now based in Los Angeles after years living in Madrid, Vancouver, and Buenos Aires, Graciela continues to evolve a visual language that asks: How can art help us feel at home in our own skins?
