Elsa Gebreyesus: The Color of Words
I am drawn to abstract compositions because they require us to stop and reflect, to ask questions. Abstract art is also open to multiple interpretations. This adds another dimension to the artwork, a sort of interactive communication that flows from the artist to the painting and eventually the viewer.
I do not start with an end in mind when I begin a painting, instead the challenge is to find the end. This process to me is a type of meditation - an intimate conversation between the materials and myself. For this series, The Color of Words, I wanted to explore my own visual representation of poems and themes by poets or wordsmiths I鈥檝e been inspired by. A small thank you for the gift of creativity, language, wisdom, and guidance they have shared with all of us.
