Graziela Guardino

Graziela Guardino (b.1979) is a mixed media artist who explores the binary forces that life presents.

She investigates opposing ideas of fragility and resilience; darkness and light; presence and absence. The materials that Graziela uses, such as fabric, pins and wood and her application of paint – a restricted monochromatic palette, provide a gradation of shade and texture that evokes space, distance and volume. It is this that gives the viewer the impression of movement, presence and absence and, potentially, a sense of loss.

Her investigations into how the experience of grief and loss are expressed has led Guardino to create work that simultaneously conveys beauty and sadness, and reconciles pain and loneliness. The artist's intention is to create a body of work that allows a sense of healing to occur for both the artist and the viewer. Graziela invites the audience to reflect and consider what is important - knowing the fragility and ephemeral nature of life. What matters is the pause or “breath”; what is in-between.
