| Giselle
Borras is a Colombian born artist who has lived and worked in Columbia,
Spain and the United States. She has had several group and solo shows,
and her work can be found in private collections across the United
States and Colombia. She studied painting, drawing and color theory with
several artists in Colombia and then continued her development in
Madrid, Spain at The Academia A de Arte. For the past two years she has
painted from her home in Hilton Head, South Carolina, drawing
inspiration from her natural surroundings and her continuous admiration
for the human body.
Giselle’s work shows her enjoyment…in feeling nature and in the perfection of the human structure. Through the practice of Yoga she has experienced an intimate relationship between mind, body and soul, which is evident in her paintings; using various techniques and a unique style to show the viewer her interpretation of the plasticity of the human body. Her approach to the visual elements of color, shape, light and texture, has been highly influenced by the work of her favorite artists: Matisse, Kandinsky and Munch. The final results are these subtle and weightless figures, created from maintaining the painting process spontaneous, filled with innocence and yet providing the viewer much force, energy and presence. Her colors remain consistent, always vibrant and bold, and the painting is finished when the idea has become a complete discussion. Art is a language spoken with fluency by this up and coming artist. |
