Asunción Bau

According to my friends, it seems I was born with a paintbrush in hand. My academic training in Philosophy did not prevent me to continue painting. But the difficulties of living under a dictatorship prevented me from developing my full potential. As a tireless traveler, knowledgeable in different artists and styles, I am building my own personality. The last years of the twentieth century and especially the arrival of the twenty-first century give me total freedom. To me art is the action of creating. Immersed in the search for transparency, my painting is acquiring an increasingly more poetic, more lyrical character, seeking an increasing contact with the viewer. So the vision of my painting becomes an ongoing process that pushes the viewer to create, in a word, to interact. ARS GRATIA ARTIS.
