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

Artist Statement for Graciela Bello

|
Painting is the way I express myself, the way I communicate my personal view of both the world and life. It is not a hobby: it is something essential, visceral, which Rilke –the poet- called "a need."
Furthermore, it is a way to defeat time and death, a way to perpetuate my dreams.
I love different painting styles: the Surrealists like René Magritte (aesthetically sublime) or Marc Chagall (sheer poetry).
I am also touched by some abstract painting. For instance, Jackson Pollock's "drip and splash" style moves me, and in its apparent secrecy I find an extremely poetic language for my soul.
I like detail, texture, materials, ensembles; those paintings which become poetry.
Since 2000, I have been working on “The Equilibrists” series, opening up to fantasy and imagination. I plunge into new textures and colors.
I try to express certain image 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 unreal things become blurred…
I feel that I still have a lot to say and other languages to experience. My game must go on. I envy those “old elves” with long lives like Picasso or Miró who created over so many years everything they wanted and imagined. What a wonderful freedom! They experienced even the pleasure of rolling over the canvas impregnated with color! If only I could do so!!!! I hope I will have the strength to dare at least a little bit…
