HOMENAJE AL SOL Painting

"For me, art has always been a mirror where energy and balance come together and return to illuminate my own life, and the viewer who vibrates in the same harmony." Beatriz Dufour has always dedicated herself to art professionally and respectfully, both to her work and to her clients, whom she considers her most precious achievement, and whose invaluable contributions have helped her grow as an artist over time. Her work is characterized by its dynamism, energy, and luminosity. The themes she explores are abstraction and nature, simultaneously, resulting in her own distinctive style. "Repeated subtlety and poetic evocation are what this talented artist reveals. The casual form, transformed into the protagonist of the work, allows us to appreciate her carefully crafted yet spontaneous aesthetic, where one can recognize the feathers of a bird or the whirlpool of a subterranean volcano. True to herself, Beatriz shows us the two worlds inhabited by her artistic practice: one figurative and precise, like that of her floral landscapes, and the other evanescent, as if it were the breath of her soul; both complete in themselves. Color and movement are the means she uses to communicate the positive energy that is contagious to the viewer." - Marcela Costa Peuser, Argentine art critic and curator. Beatriz's works are found in numerous private collections in Uruguay and around the world (Spain, USA, France, UK, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, etc.).
