Brightness Painting

Vanessa Velib (b. Mexico in 1994) lives and works in Dallas, Texas. An abstract painter whose work has evolved during 12 years of practice, creating her unique style with a densely layered combination of materials. Her palette is rich in color and thick in textures. Her work is comprised of intuitive, large-scale visual works using a diverse variety of genuine techniques on wood, steel, linen, and paper; steeped in profound, personal brushstroke heavily inspired by a personal view of life events, cities, and nature. Since 2012, she has been actively involved in international auctions, art fairs, charities, galleries, art competitions, art residencies, and museums. Her skills and her passion to transform life experiences into art and share them with the world continues to expand and evolve. Statement Vanessa Velib celebrates transformation and change. Through art she establishes a communion with nature, as she rejects conventions and discovers her own personal language to achieve her goal. She accomplishes this through her unique use of color saturation along with thick and marked contours, thus creating a network of shapes that are significant by themselves. There is a swift, violent, and compelling treatment with an urgent sense of change and metamorphosis, where there is no prior idea of composition, without difference between figure and background; in which each element can get confused with everything in a space without neutral or empty areas. Quick brushstrokes, impastos, and broad stripes of color integrated in various directions can be distinguished; confirming the artist's interest to suggest - rather than the experience of nature - the very nature of the act of painting. In her work we find echoes of Abstract Expressionism, as she holds stylistic correspondences with Gorky, Pollock, Motherwell, Rothko, and Kline, all of whom manifest the improvised states of the unconscious through brushstrokes and paint drips. With these gestures, Velib seduces in a definite way the importance of abstract movement by proposing a generous materiality where a center of gravity is built and given by the sumptuous color that supports it as a visual metaphor. Related to “action painting”, Vanessa Velib revisits the extraordinary freedoms of shapes and colors, impastos and scratches, objects or subjects that she incorporates into her compositions appearing as bodies in a continuous transformation.
