Abstract Flower Watercolor Fine Art Print

Beatriz Vazquez is a Spain-based painter who draws on colour psychology and her environment in Asturias (Spain Northern rural area) for an ever-evolving source of inspiration in her abstract landscape paintings. Beatriz was classically trained and obtained her Fine Arts degree from her hometown Seville, in South Spain. Creativity has been present in her daily life since a young age, always interested in drawing and looking at images on art books. Her paintings speak to whimsical notions of abstraction, as well as the colour palette of realist painters, such as Antonio Lopez Garcia. However, the artist employs delicate, muted tones and mark making, and layers of oil and acrylic that reveal traces of memory that pose sensitive reflections on the world, void of ego. Often working large-scale canvases with acrylic and oil paint, Beatriz utilises her research in colour psychology to give the works a sensory effect — the harmonious tones of the environment connect her audience to the landscape she creates within. Texture is built through gestural mark-making to imprint the canvas, indicative of the time and thought that she pours out on each one of her pieces. She has been finalist in several contemporary painting awards, exhibits regularly and sells her work to a both national and international clientele. Written by Susan Dorothea Hargrave
