Born in 1973 in Caracas, Venezuela.
Resides and works in Sydney, Australia.
Marisabel Gonzalez is a Latin-American contemporary artist whose practice explores the fragility, resilience, and complexity of being human. Working primarily in painting, Marisabel fuses the emotional terrain of lived experience with the clinical gaze of medical imaging — a synthesis born from her background as both a doctor and a sonographer.
Her abstract works, deeply autobiographical yet universally resonant, draw on themes of memory, identity, and healing, often using the body as a metaphorical and material starting point. Layers of paint, stitched threads, bandages, and text echo the processes of diagnosis, mending, and transformation. Her compositions are tactile and evocative, often referencing ultrasound textures and the idea of palimpsest — surfaces that carry visible traces of what came before.
Notable exhibitions include solo presentations at Hake House (2023), Curl Curl Creative Space (2020) in Sydney, Australia, and Arianne Paffrath (2017) in Düsseldorf, Germany, accompanied by group shows at the Parliament House of NSW (2019) in Sydney, Australia; the Manly Art Gallery and Museum (2019) in Sydney, Australia; ASD (2017) in Den Haag, the Netherlands; to name just a few.
Marisabel has received various honours over the past years, encompassing most recently a selection as a finalist for the Paddington Art Prize (2021), winner of the Collabor8 Women's Art Prize (2023), semi-finalist selection at the Luca Biennale Cartasia, Italy (2024), finalist of the Northern Beaches Environmental Art Prize (2024 and 2025) and finalist of the St. Columba’s Art Prize (2025). As a result, her works feature in various public and private collections, encompassing the Barclays Private Bank in Sydney, Australia; the Stiftung Kleine Kunstdialog West/Ost in Düsseldorf, Germany; the Axicorp Corporate Collections in Singapore and London, the United Kingdom; and various private collections across the globe.
