Gustavo Nazareno’s richly symbolic paintings investigate the African hand in Brazilian Baroque art.

An installation view of Gustavo Nazareno’s exhibition shows three large-scale paintings on white and black gallery walls, including a rearing black horse with a red cloth and two figures partially obscured by dramatic drapery.

Gustavo Nazareno’s “Bára” and “Afro-Latin Baroque” are on view at Opera Gallery’s Bal Harbour and Miami locations through March 29, 2025.
