PORTFOLIO

ARTIST BIO

Michelle Castellands is a Venezuelan artist, whose passion for painting was born by pure intuition. In each of her work she takes care of the norms of perspective, composition, tone, textures and paths, devoting respect to the form and aesthetics.

She began scribbling abstract drawings in the notebooks in school as a child which she subsequently printed vibrant colors that eventually began to change to better amplify the beauty and energy of her paintings.

She likes to mix the details of realism with the freedom of the abstract by turning her emotions into her paintings since she believes in the power of art as a means of expression.

In the process of her creations, her realistic phase is inspired by her experiences, in the surrounding environment, since she finds beauty in the familiarity of the everyday, especially nature and characters that have transcended through history either in art, music, politics or literature.

In his abstraction phase, she likes to mix compatible and contrasting colors and textures whose softness or strength have the power to transmit sensations through her creativity.

Michelle paints for the challenge of expressing herself in a visual way. Her refer mediums are acrylic, alcohol inks, silk and resin. In her paintings she uses what inspiration tells her at the moment, but above all, according to her own words, in each piece she puts "a piece of her heart"

Her paintings allows us to enter a wonderful world of color, joy, strength. Being self-taught, without a doubt, has given her the freedom to experience pictorial techniques that adapts to moments of magic and reality that she skillfully conveys in each of his paintings.
