Artist Statement: Clara Berta
My spiritual path contributes to my work,
which I now create from a place of peaceand compassion. For me, art is healing andplays an important role in my entire life, espe-cially since I love interior design. These feelings
are expressed by the lovely English and Zengardens that surround my home.
Since being influenced by the Italian culture, mywork has taken a new direction that I expressby creating textures through adding layers of torn posters, writings and exotic materials thatare recycled into my art. My colors are nowrich and earthy with passionate blues derived
from my love for the ocean. This reflects mydesire to work with eco friendly and recycledfound materials. I especially enjoy painting onfarm wood as part of my zen-like lifestyle.I use rich layers, elements of mixed media, that integrates poetry, photography, print-making and unconventional materials, sometimes incorporating all in a single piece.I paint with passion on canvas and wood panels with a varied palette, lush with vi-brant color. My emphasis is on the rich colors and textures of life and spirituality withsubtle patterns of light and shadow revealing a deep understanding of the human
psyche.”
