Galerie Gomis, in collaboration with Tales, is pleased to present Gleeson Paulino: Echoes Of The Amazon, a poetic visual journey through the lush yet fragile landscapes of the Amazon. Through a series of evocative photographs, the exhibition delves into the region’s deep connection to nature, the resilience of its indigenous communities, and the urgency of environmental preservation.

Paulino’s work, positioned at the intersection of ecology and fashion, captures the Amazon’s breathtaking beauty while shedding light on the social and environmental challenges it faces. His dreamlike yet raw imagery reveals the delicate balance between tradition and modernity, inviting viewers to reflect on our shared responsibility to protect this vital ecosystem.

This exhibition coincides with B-Corp Month, reinforcing the dialogue around sustainability, ethical business practices, and social impact.

Marie Gomis-Trezise, founder/curator at Galerie Gomis says: "Gleeson Paulino work is a love letter to the Amazon and its communities. At Galerie Gomis, we are committed to showcasing authentic narratives, and Gleeson’s images present the people of the Amazon as they live today—far from the anthropological gaze often seen in Western portrayals”.
TALES says: “Tales celebrates the poetic vision of Gleeson Paulino in Echoes of the Amazon, where every image is a verse in nature’s epic, inviting us to reflect on the convergence of enduring cultural legacies and progressive, forward-thinking expression”.
David Frasson-Botton, Co-founder & CEO at Sheriff Projects says: “With its evocative power, the image illuminates, raises awareness, and transforms perspectives. Echoes of the Amazon invites us on a journey that is both poetic and committed, where aesthetics meet environmental urgency. At Sheriff Projects, we believe in meaningful creation—one that provokes thought and drives change. Supporting this initiative through The Mycelium Fund aligns fully with our commitment to a more responsible industry and a constructive dialogue between art, fashion, and ecology.”

About Galerie Gomis

Born into a Senegalese family in the northern districts of Marseille, Marie Gomis-Trezise established Galerie Number 8 in 2016.

The groundbreaking creative director, as France’s first Black A&R in a major record company, discovered her love for photography while shaping her artists’ sound and image. This discovery served as the foundation for her vision to bring visibility to a new wave of photographers from the African diaspora and the global South.


Galerie Number 8 has now run its course, and it is time for a new chapter. With a physical manifestation in the heart of Brussels, the gallery will be renamed Galerie Gomis, after its founder.


This change reflects Marie’s personal commitment and acknowledges that in the passage of time, human beings evolve. The choice of the color purple is a subtle allusion to the rain of the same name, symbolizing the hidden aspects of our identities.


It underscores the belief that our individuality transcends labels such as race, sexual orientation, or socio-economic background. What truly matters is embracing our differences, as they represent the most profound diaspora in the history of humanity.
