Sveta Hessler
"Gold Rush" by Sveta Hessler - White and Gold Heavily Textured Abstract Painting

2024

About the Item

Sveta Hessler (Russian, born 1973) "Gold Rush" 2024 Glue, Gold Leaf, Mixed Media, Canvas, Stretcher bars The artist signed the back of the painting. "Gold Rush" by Sveta Hessler is an evocative piece that captures the fleeting beauty of discovery. The texture of the canvas rises up in sculptural waves, creating a tactile experience that invites you to lean in and explore its surface. The gold leaf, which catches the light in different ways throughout the day, shifts from warm, glowing tones to soft, reflective whispers of gold—each moment revealing something new. The piece feels like it’s caught in motion, as if it could be touched, molded, or even discovered anew at any given moment. There’s something timeless in this work, like the rush of finding something precious, only to realize its meaning changes with time. The layers of texture reflect the effort and journey behind any pursuit, while the gold gives the sense that what’s found is both elusive and endlessly captivating. "Gold Rush" feels less like a painting on a wall and more like a living thing, constantly shifting and evolving, just like the light it captures. About the Artist: Born in Yoshkar-Ola, Russia, Sveta Hessler's artistic journey is deeply rooted in the vibrant cultural tapestry of her childhood, enveloped in the sounds of her family's singing and the melodies of guitars and balalaikas. This rich, musical backdrop has profoundly influenced her approach to art, infusing her works with rhythm and color. Sveta pursued her early academic interests by earning a degree in Social Psychology from the University of Moscow Social-Psychology in 1999. Seeking new horizons, she moved to the United States, where she continued her education and received a Cosmetology degree from the College of San Mateo in California in 2008. Despite her diverse educational background, Sveta's passion for art prevailed, leading her to embrace painting as her primary mode of expression. Now a self-taught artist with fifteen years of experience, Sveta excels in abstract expressionism and is renowned for her abstract spheres created using bold, bright colors and rich textures. Sveta’s art is a celebration of life and beauty, drawing inspiration from nature, urban landscapes, cinematic narratives, and literary characters. Each stroke of her brush is an exploration of human emotions, moods, and the distinctiveness of the human spirit. Describing her art as gentle, happy, and uplifting, Sveta adds a touch of magic to each piece, transforming her canvases into vibrant stories that resonate with cheerfulness and vitality. For Sveta, painting is not just an activity but a state of happiness and a profound way to connect with the world around her, making her truly alive.

There is a positive -negative geometric logic we can see and manipulate readliy, but we are still in the dark as to how and why it happens at all. About the Series: For Dray, Philosophy deals in the abstract and abstraction is an indispensable tool in art and culture. Through his paintings, he reasserts that abstraction has been a part of humanity, all cultures in all ages. It’s an indispensable tool, as we create symbols, vessels to fill with allusions and messages. The resulting artwork have a strong sense of purpose.

The light of the sun in a room illuminates and reflects off the paintings as they come alive and change through time. About the Artist: Benjamin Dray is an artist based in Sydney, Australia. He completed his formal art education in Australia and has painted continuously for the last 30 years living and working in his studio home on Scotland Island...
