She is interested in questioning the existential and sometimes metaphysical aspects of the female experience and its own definitions. Eventually, this line of questioning turns towards her interrogates her own experiences as a woman and as an artist. "Beauty isn’t a pattern that can be simply explained, there is no symmetry in the body, just like trees and the human body. Trees are crooked, bent, full of cracks and holes, uneven edges and not standing perfectly straight at all, and yet this is what makes us stop and contemplate them.” Eliana has chosen drawing as her medium for her personal of work. The immediacy and expressive materiality of charcoal, graphite, and ink allow her to explore the subject matter with the gestural freedom that only drawing can bring. Getting transparencies and overlapping shapes to recreate the sense of figures and emotions.

Isabel Turban

Artist

Isabel is an abstract artist working with mixed media on canvas or paper she works in layers transferring images of maps and then drawing and painting with charcoal, ink and acrylics. The mapping of this planet where Humanity dwells is her attempt to represent the abstract places that act as a medium for creation and information. This imaginary allow her to recreate happy, nostalgic moments where elements of people's cultural, political and emotional experience intervene and manifest themselves Throughout layers of gestural images, srokes of acrylics and traces of charcoal and ink, her work represents her own idyllic albeit in inexistent space. At the end, the physical places diffuse and become rather unimportant as they are simply an inspiration, an spontaneous dialogue where each accident moves the painting forward. Her work's narrative may lead to multiple Inspirations. The wide view is an open invitation to get closer and lost in the details to find the power and the beauty of small things

Ana Abreu

Artist

Ana Abreu is an artist dedicated to Geometric Abstraction based in Florida, United States. She felt from an early age the call of art, when she discovered that it gave her the possibility of expressing, sensations, thoughts and ideas that of doing it with words, which was with greater difficulty. For her, she creates an obsession, uses drawing to sketch and organize ideas and her passions, painting and sculpture. Always abstracting the negative and positive forms that make us nature, becoming lines that form a prefect geometry. Paying homage to that security and shelter that trees give less and that every day they surprise me more with their useless forms and then discover that they are perfect. Among wood, fabrics and grasses, mixed colors, handling just like acrylic paint like Oleo, she spends her time working on the creation of a universe. Abstracting forms, abstracting thoughts and placing each idea in a way in which it can obtain aesthetic sense and be able to admire something that is finally tangible, and very important to be able to share it. That communion that is formed when an Idea is shown and given in the form of Work, that feeling of having recorded for all those feelings in a piece is simply the motor that moves the Artist.
