Force, light and color
Susie Gadea handles light and color with force and energy, with rotund brushstrokes later finished with delicacy and softness. Sometimes she seems the poetess of color, of dreams come true, of the place every human being wants to reach.
Here we find a painter who seeks to express all that her eyes perceive, everything that filtered through light suggests form or significance. She uses a pure and clean language, filled with tenderness at times or attempting to convey what the world is made up of, its egos and quarrels, its smiles and tears.
From whatever angle we look at her work, it conveys peace. She builds her expression through the colors of her palette, where suddenly yellows holler surrounded by blues or purples, for as ocean waves do, their strength may sometimes hurt us or their softness caresses us.
I think her palette is unmistakable, for through it she conveys us her thoughts. This painting reminds me of free art in its concept and of lyrical art in its content. Susie has created at an earlier stage works that recall George Seurat, but with the crystalline purity of water and certainly quite beautiful.
Susie has traveled the world, has drunk from the fountains of knowledge and witnessed mayor art events, she has therefore treasured wisdom and experience, which she has subsequently depicted in her paintings. Travel, culture and a conceptual foundation in psychology -degree she holds- granted her considerable potential to observe and grow in all fields, later enabling the her to earn the position she starts to occupy the in the lineup of art.
