Exhibition “Couleurs d’Amazonie”, Espace_L, Geneva/Switzerland

Galerie Espace_L, Geneva/Switzerland

This exhibition presents works by Niura Bellavinha, Ernesto Neto and Christina Oiticica, three contemporary artists who use raw materials in reference to the culture of the indians who are native of the Amazon region. Their culture transports us into a spiritual space that mixes the environment of the three artists presented hereby.

Niura Bellavinha uses the roucou (urucum), a red pigment used in body paintings by South American indigenous tribes. Christina Oiticica works with the intervention of women from the Katukina tribe in her artwork. Ernesto Neto has a profound desire to connect people, places and cultures as shown in his work Once in Love.

Ink Drawings

by Leave a Comment

These 3 ink drawings were done in 2011, when I wanted to do something different from my usual paintings. It had been quite a while since I had drawn with pen and ink and I found tremendous pleasure in doing these three. Although they’re a bit different from my painted works, they still contain elements that are important to me: nature, the heart, flowers/roses and butterflies. I named them Love, Faith and Charity.

The original drawings, complete with frame, are for sale in my Etsy shop.

Exhibition “Elles”

2015-11_ELLES_exhibit_EspaceL

“Elles” presents the work of 12 female artists, with inspiration and influences generated from various places. This exhibition demonstrates how the individuality and identity of each of these artists are developed distinctly, based on different principles. The exhibition offers an opportunity for the public to create connections between the art works and to break stereotypes regarding feminine art.
