Discovery. Acrylic on Canvas. 60” x 36"
Eumelia Castro – Venezuela PAINTING is part of a ritual, a process of abstraction, a spiritual elevation. Slowly I prepare the color palette, I sit down to the canvas, I observe I detail; take a deep breath and start to paint. I paint because is my passion, that way I connect with my spirit, I go into another dimension where my mind is filled with beauty, magic, happiness, peace and at that moment I stop thinking; and a divine power flows through me. Since childhood I always felt the urge to paint little dolls in notebooks and textbooks. I didn’t pay attention and of course didn’t understand the classes because all I did was draw and draw nonstop because it made me feel good and happy. This internal process has always been inside me, has been a process an internal growth by which I live and vibrate. I use IMPASTO Technique with pallet knife, I feel a special charm to work on funds and soft textures and varied vivid colors, always inspired in nature. Also experimenting with different materials and tools combined with acrylics and oils, has given me the strength to give that special sparkle where the female figures, beauty and delicacy of women is always implied in my work. Eyes are the soul’s window and I want to express through the very large and languid eyes that are in search of something wonderful, that big and magical things always happen. Paint is my Joy and this is the wish to convey to all who observe my work. www.eumeliacastro.com
