Olivia Torres
Selected Work
For the artist, this landscape where the chaotic and the harmonious converge becomes a reflection of different manifestations of the transcendence of the human being and is, at the same time, one of her motivational resources. It is in everyday life where she finds inspiration, in the shapes of each house or construction that, in their particularity, transmit a message to me, a story. Aided by stain and striking colors, Olivia develops her canvas, giving it shape as it emerges, without dwelling on the details. In her opinion, color gives life, strength and organicity to her pieces if applied with the correct code.
