New Work
I’m happy to share my newest work with you, along with a little of the motivation and meaning behind these paintings. For me, creating them is a way of exploring and understanding the world around us—and our place within it.
Resiliência
I hope this message finds you well ❤︎ I’m excited to share what has been coming to life in my studio — my new painting RESILIÊNCIA, along with a new pair of hand-painted chancletas ☺︎
THE HEART OF MY WORK
“My paintings explore the emotional landscape of being human—the fragile space between vulnerability, suffering, connection, and hope. I am drawn to our shared experiences: the quiet pain of war, inequality, isolation, and our growing separation from Mother Nature.
Yet within this vulnerability, I see our greatest strength: our ability to connect, to love, and to support one another. Love, empathy, understanding, and compassion are the essential foundations of a liberated humanity—one that recognizes our shared existence, cares deeply for one another, and remembers our inseparable bond with all living things.
We are not separate from nature; like trees and flowers, we are rooted in the same living system of growth, fragility, and renewal. We are not above or more important than any other living organism—we are part of the same delicate web of life. In this interconnected world, there is no place for ego, envy, and greed that separate us from one another and from the Earth.
Through this humility and respect, we can rediscover the beauty of our shared existence. I invite you to stay open, free in your mind, and fluid—to question what separates us, and remain connected to the endless movement of life.
Stay curious. Stay compassionate. Stay rebellious.” ❤︎
New Piece + Something You Might Enjoy
…and we will overcome!
Music and dancing are essential parts of my life. They keep me inspired, grounded, and creatively alive…they're my medicine. I’m always putting together playlists for myself, and I thought it would be nice to share them with you as well. If you're in the mood, press play, turn it up, and enjoy → Go to playlists

A New Small Adventure
I’ve recently gotten into crocheting, and it’s been very calming and meditative—a new small adventure for me. This is a bag I made using blue and white cotton T-shirt yarn, with neon orange accents.
I ❤︎ Your Vote
Hi, I hope you’re well. I’ve been a bit quiet lately—currently in a transitional phase, finding my footing while continuing to create. I’m grateful to share that I’ve been accepted into the art competition presented by Johnny Depp, The People’s Artist, which begins today, May 4th till the finals on July 9th, 2026. If you feel called to support me, your vote would truly matter. Thank you for being here and staying connected. Much love, GYZELLAH

No Kings
REMEMBER WHY WE RISE TODAY | This is bigger than one country. Around the world, people are losing their rights. Genocide is happening. Democracies are collapsing. Truth is under attack. We fight for all of us-everywhere. For justice over tyranny. For freedom over fascism. For people over profit. For dignity, truth, and a future we can live in. They want us afraid, divided, and silent. But we are united. We are awake. Be safe. Stand strong. Watch each other's backs. RISE
Creating While in Transition
Currently displaced from my home in New York City, I have been navigating life in transition—with a deep instinct to create wherever I land. Right now, I’m working with what’s around me: limited materials, temporary spaces, found objects, and intuition. And what’s emerging is thoughtful, honest work—raw at times, shaped by emotion, and rooted in the reality of where I am right now. This season isn’t about polish—it’s about truth and creation in motion.
New Creations + Something Exciting On The Way
I’m excited to share a few new things I have been working on—fresh artwork, one-of-a-kind fashion pieces, and a creative project close to my heart. The Brooklyn Funk Factory is evolving into an online community dedicated to celebrating and supporting my friends and their talents. Stay tuned—there’s so much more to come! Love and light ❤︎
