About the Item

Artist Comments
A glowing sphere floats at the center of a surreal, abstract landscape. The light represents a divine and pure illumination that signifies goodness, guidance, and spiritual well-being. It provides comfort and peace and serves as a symbol of righteousness, underscoring the importance of expression.


About the Artist
Artist Yamilet Sempe paints boldly graphic abstracts, visibly influenced by modernist aesthetics. A keen believer in the power of signs, she incorporates symbols of mysticism and spirituality in her work. Her compositions feature dramatic palettes—intentionally using orange to represent enthusiasm and positivity. "I am only an instrument of the creator," says Yamilet. Spending her formative years in Cuba and France, she immersed herself in the presence and influence of renowned artists of culture. After years of working as a veterinary nurse, it was not until her mid-forties she chose to dedicate her time to painting, her true passion. She migrated to Florida and devoted herself to her practice, working at her home studio neighboring the coast. Yamilet splits her time between the United States and Paris, allowing her shared vision of diverse cultures. Her work has been featured in esteemed exhibitions in Europe and the USA.

French Mixed Media Abstract on Canvas.
Located in Cotignac, FR
Colourful, French mixed media abstract, acrylic, newsprint and ink from the 1980s. The canvas is signed and dated bottom right but we have not yet managed to decipher it. A colourful and engaging painting crossing over styles. The colourfield elements are reminiscent of the work of Mark Rothko, three defined bands of colour in orange/pink tones vertically dissecting the painting with one horizontal band across the top, and yet the elongated depiction of the female figures within the bands remind us of Gustav Klimt and his paintings of Adele. The background of the painting has been worked broadly with a palette knife whilst the detail has been added quickly and deftly with ink or finer brushstrokes. With the addition of newsprint (in French) the artist may...
