A Day at the Beach 2022 Painting

My work is focused on blurring the line between figuration and abstraction, drawing from past memories and dream like places. Having initially pursued studies in interior design and interior architecture, it was during a year living abroad in Italy that she encountered the works of Nicolas de Stael and fell in love with impasto, thick paint, and palette knives. Now focused on exploring the relationship between spaces and figures within these techniques, she composes striking works that encourage contemplation and individual interpretation, particularly heightened by the fact that most pieces are untitled. Gabriela has been painting and exhibiting her work for over ten years, and is held in various private collections in England, Italy, France, Philippines, Luxembourg, Germany, Peru, and the US.
