reviews

"... An excuberant, eclectic mix of works that show influences from Picasso, Ingres and the Impressionists."

- Pam Perry, Creative Loafing

"Goréja's figures are literally haunting in a remarkable sort of way The eyes - their expressions - they follow you, they talk to you..."

- Alexandar P. Collins, Spontaneous Art

"... Striking colors, bold shapes, intricate designs, and sure technique."

- Liz Mangan, Atlanta Journal & Constitution

"His latest style... Neo-Figuralism involves the use of distorted figures and vivid imagery to convey human emotion and striving."

- Pam Perry, Creative Loafing

"You cannot label this artist with any instantly recognizable category. There is a totally eclectic mix of styles, ranging from representitive, though very expressive landscapes from some of the 50 countries Goreja has visited, to the most recent, compositions with a mixture of human forms, abstract shapes and objects in vibrant colors."

- Liz Mangan, Atlanta Journal & Constitution

"The Neo-Figuralist works are slightly spooling and quite wonderful. In pieces like 'First Sin' and 'Danté Marries Beatrice in His Dream,' Goréja's distended creatures cavort eerily. Their fluid lines give an impression of motion to the works, and their deformities seem somehow instructive."

- Pam Perry, Creative Loafing

"His works vary in style from piece to piece. One will be bright, containing almost an optical illusion effect, and the next will be realistic shades and shapes of a different city."

- Julie Kimble, Atlanta Journal & Constitution

"All of his works have a documentary significance depicting a tendency towards pleasurable and illustrative memories, which he shares with the viewers of his painting."

- Felsie Hansard, Womens Informaiton Journal

"Goreja's place in today's society carves a new definition of reality that clearly represents a pioneering role in naturalism. Goreja belongs to a world which is fascinating and encompasses virtuous decorum and human integrity."

- Felsie Hansard, Womens Informaiton Journal

"His present studio is like a museum with impressive works representing his early years to recent works such as the wall-sized canvases filled with vibrant color and emotional figures."

- Alexander P. Collins, Spontaneous Art
