Beatriz Vazquez - Vertical Garden

Technique: Oil painting

Artist Biography: Beatriz Vázquez is a Spanish painter, who uses in her abstract landscape painting the psychology of color and her natural environment in Asturias (rural area of northern Spain), as a constantly evolving source of inspiration. Beatriz received a classical training at the University of Fine Arts in her hometown, Seville, in southern Spain. Creativity has been present in her daily life since she was very young, always interested in drawing and looking at images in art books. Her paintings speak to us of the notions of abstraction, as well as the color palette of realist painters, such as Antonio López García. However, the painter employs strokes of delicate and neutral tones, and layers of acrylic and oil, which reveal traces of the memory of her reflection on the world, in a sensitive and devoid of ego way. Working on large format canvases, with acrylic and oil paint, Beatriz uses her research in color psychology to give the works a sensory effect: the harmonious tones of the work connect her audience to the landscape she creates in each painting. The texture is built through gestural marks that imprint the canvas, indicative of the time and thought that she pours into each of her pieces. He has been a finalist in several contemporary painting awards, exhibits regularly and sells his work to a national and international clientele: UK, Germany, Denmark and USA.

 

It represents a GARDEN in full bloom during the springtime. This bright colorful ABSTRACT LANDSCAPE bring beauty and happiness into your daily life. My paintings are often about landscapes both real and emotional. I feel that my work being so close to abstract implies that the viewer who is enjoying my paintings bring something of themselves to the final work. It is how they engage with their own imagination while they are looking into a painting that completes the work. My main inspiration is to watch and reflect on the changes that the light and the seasons make to the rural landscape that surrounds me. My style is impressionist: color, texture and solid but loose strokes that are appreciated best close to the canvas. I have used oil painting on a stretched canvas with wide sides of 3,5cm that are also painted, so no need to be framed as it hangs beautifully as it is. It is protected from dust and UV light by a layer of varnish.
