Jesse Gouveia is an American artist born in Seattle, Washington, currently living and working in New York City. His work consists of still photographic images and objects, often displaying visuals and semiotic representations of quiet. Solitary subjects in their private environments and those environments themselves, vacant and left without witness, populate his work. Gouveia interprets his own memories and constructs momentary documents of his subjects in states of absence and introspection.
