"Color Addition Nineteen" Painting

Disable artist Rossana "Rossi" Kelton was born in 1960 in Montevideo, Uruguay, and immigrated to the New York/New Jersey area in 1972. In 2023, she earned a Master of Fine Arts in Painting from the Savannah College of Art and Design. Her work has been featured in notable exhibitions such as ArtPrize in Grand Rapids, Michigan; The Armory in New York; A Singular Creation: Water in Brooklyn, New York; Climate Gallery in Long Island; and SCAD Art Sales. Upcoming exhibitions include The Art of Possibilities Juried Show in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and a continued presence with SCAD Art Sales in Atlanta, Georgia. Kelton currently lives and works in Atlanta, where she creates art that reflects a deep concern for nature, emotional wellness, and human connection. As part of her artistic mission, she donates a portion of each artwork sale to the American Cancer Society in honor of loved ones affected by cancer.

Spatial Light Compositions for Architectural Environments

My work explores light as both a perceptual and spatial force—where color, illumination, and form interact to shape the experience of an environment. Each painting is conceived not as an isolated image, but as a compositional element within architecture, designed to influence atmosphere, depth, and visual rhythm.

Through layered color and controlled luminosity, these works function as dynamic fields of light, activating surfaces and engaging the viewer’s perception as they move through space. The compositions respond to surrounding conditions—natural light, scale, and placement—allowing them to shift subtly over time.

Positioned between abstraction and optical perception, the work carries a dual purpose: it operates as fine art while also contributing a functional aesthetic value within interiors. Whether installed in residential, commercial, or hospitality settings, these pieces are intended to integrate seamlessly into architectural contexts, enhancing spatial coherence and elevating the emotional tone of a space.

Each work is a singular, original composition—part of a cohesive system designed to bring clarity, balance, and luminous presence into the built environment.?
