Olga Lora 3 Artist Portfolio
A r t i s t Stat e m e n t “Painting enriches my life and keeps my soul alive. It’s a game between reality, imagination, and creativity, and when I quit playing I feel deprived of myself”. o
One could see my paintings as still life. Basically as an array of flowers, fruits and vegetables on a surface that sit still and don’t move. But, I see those still lives as reminders of life’s ephemeral qualities. When I paint a still life is often permeated with a fragile melancholy or a contagious happiness. They are similar feelings to those which characterized my life as a human being and as an artist. In a still life I see the world differently, from countless angles, each different, unique and always important. My interest is not in the objects themselves but in using them to experiment with shape, color, and lighting. I arrange my still life so that everything locked together. Edges of objects run into each other but have their own space, their uniqueness. In giving form and mass to objects through the combination of brushstrokes and carefully balanced colors and textures, I feel that -for an instant- I can stop time. My paintings express everyday life exalting the beauty of nature in flower arrangements, fruits and simple kitchen appliances, retaining a fascination for colors related to my dear tropic and my passion for life and love. Art is that love that knows no dates, nor schedules when expressed, it just flows. In me inspiration flows, thanks to the support, advice and friendship of my husband, but mainly because of his immense love for me. Manet once said: “A painter can express all that he wants with fruit or flowers”.
