"Elephant Rikki" Painting

Natalia Viveros Galindo (pseudonym ViGa) is an artist and fashion designer from Mexico. Her work reveals a deep love for nature and passion for harmony. Her pieces of art are saturated with a poetic spirit inspired by the natural environment. The abundance of colors expresses a magnificence that would be unlikely to be described by words. Her paintings reflect the life story of an artist who has lived in several countries, appreciating the contrasts between dissimilar worlds. Through the artist's eyes the sea is reflected, an inexhaustible source of beauty, splendor, impetus and enigmatic nuances. “For me, the process of creating a painting involves meditation and introspection, as well as the overflow of feelings and emotions. I often start a work inspired by a simple emotion, which later gives way to the reminiscence of certain place and time ..., and it is at that moment that a landscape begins to take shape. On other occasions, I begin to create a landscape and it becomes increasingly abstract, to the extent that the memory and the emotions exceed me ... I work quickly and for long periods, until I feel that the painting has advanced to some extent ... then I take a deep breath, look at it again, assimilate the idea, and resume the work until the painting itself tells me it has been completed - for the moment, ”says the artist. It is necessary to achieve harmony and balance in the soul to know oneself. In that sense, her work combines the traits of different cultures and nations, thanks to the experience of traveling around the world and living in different countries. Her natural landscapes are the manifestation of memories and sensations. Her works are an expression of beauty and aesthetic sense, which are always accompanied by a strong emotional charge.
