materials, ensembles; those
paintings which become poetry.
Since 2000, I have been

series, opening up to fantasy
and imagination. I plunge into
new textures and colors.

ambiguity. I experience the
pleasure of fun and magic.
It is a poetic stage which
leads me to the land of magic
and dreams, where real and

Artist Reviews:
“Clearly “experimenting with
fun and magic,” G.B.'s works
embrace the naïve aesthetics
so that she can take the
liberty of playing with the
pure fairy tale, the world of
childhood and dreams, and
transfer them to the canvas in
a return to innocence.
Mastering a refined
