Brazilian Painter Isabel Santta Cecilia’s Art Conveys Resolute Optimism and Joy
Chelsea’s Agora Gallery announced they will host a collective art exhibition that is scheduled to run from September 8, 2009 through September 29, 2009.The brilliant colors and dazzling forms that characterize the tradition of Latin American art are still found in contemporary painting today. The talented artists collected here channel their zest for life, transforming it into energetic paintings that explore the individual world while celebrating the beautiful people and places that surround it. Masters of the Imagination offers a rare chance to experience the nuances of fine art by Latin American artists, not merely with the eyes, but the heart.
The vibrant and striking canvases of Isabel Santta Cecilia convey resolute optimism and joy. A self-taught artist, Santta Cecilia has been strongly influenced by popular art from her native Brazil. Interested in an art that is accessible to all, she works with familiar forms, often employing geometric shapes alongside more free-flowing organic elements. Using acrylic paint and collage, she layers and juxtaposes these components of varying sizes, scales and textures; light and shadow highlight likenesses and differences, simultaneously drawing attention to multiple areas within each work. An array of brilliant, intense, and dazzling shades tie the individual elements together, producing compositions in which color reigns supreme. Through her work, Santta Cecilia combats monotony and predetermination, offering an alternative and fun perspective on what she describes as “the greatest of all the arts—the art of living.”
Isabel Santta Cecilia’s work has been exhibited in Rome, Lisbon and New York. She lives and works in Londrina in the state of Paraná, Brazil.
