About

Gabriela Tolomei's paintings exquisitely reflect her lively and vibrant personality, influenced by her life in Latin America. She paints with the emotion of living and with the passion of music, with the Latin rhythms and tango, which so arouse us in Europe. Gabriela uses sensibly and sensually the chords of the colors that flow and overlap, usually vertically, softly and polychromatically. The harmony she achieves in her works projects tranquility, well-being and a feeling of being wrapped in light. But all this would never happen if not for the unique identity of Gabriela, which adds her distinctive touch. Her sense of touch, scale and composition reveal in her paintings something exciting, unique and truly expressive, born of a very wonderful person.

We've seen Gabriela's wonderful wok in galleries, fairs, exhibitions and in all the places where every prestigious artist is obliged to be at; but they only acquire their real dimension and potential in those places that we love or, to define it better, in the places that love us. It's in this sense that Gabriela's paintings invert its relationship with spectators: they love us!

While approaching the eye to the intense paintings of Gabriela Tolomei, a hidden poetry is discovered that springs from her luminous strokes, short and determined; darned by fine and enveloping ties. That whole has a strange mystical charge.

Gabriela's painting has its roots in the expressionist school of Kandinsky. More than expressionist, abstract, Gabriela has in her interior the living potential of lyrical abstraction. Her interest lies, mainly, in the communion of forms, lines and color. Her paintings are conceived from an infinite superposition of layers of colors, which give the surface a very characteristic contrast quality. Her works are structured from the chromatic vibration, and allow the viewer to interact with them from a very free and personal interpretation.

Gabriela Tolomei is an exotic jewel in the art world: her vision of life, work and spirituality are incredible. Her work distills something so energizing, that it does not matter who you are, where you come from, or if you know or do not know about art: it simply moves you. It takes you to some place where you've never been before, or to that place where you've always wanted to be but you have not found how to get there. As her gallery owner, manager, friend, mentor, teacher and apprentice, I can only predict that good things will happen in her life, her career as an artist and her environment. If you know her, consider yourself very lucky!
