About the Item

This abstract painting by Teodora Guererra features a light, cool palette of green and blue contrasted by a warm pink tone layered over the top of the composition. The artist layers thick strokes of paint using a palette knife in horizontal strokes over gallery wrapped canvas, creating a minimalist composition and a lightly textured finish on the surface of the piece. The painting wraps around the sides, and is signed by the artist on the back of the canvas. It is wired and ready to hang. Teodora Guererra’s abstract artistic vision is influenced by her travels throughout the United States and abroad. While living in Arizona, she became inspired by the naturally radiant landscape and arid climate, which led her to experiment with rich under-painting and vivid colors. Later, the shifting seasons of the East Coast prompted her to pursuance of dripping and textural techniques. Throughout her career, Guererra’s consistent focus has been to push the limits through experimentation with new materials. She is influenced by Pat Steir, Joan Mitchell, Larry Poons, Helen Frankenthaler, and Morris Louis to name a few. Guererra received her undergraduate and graduate Art degrees from Southern Connecticut University, The College of Saint Rose, and Skidmore College. Guererra’s paintings can be found in public and private collections across the U.S., including the Allmen Health and Wellness Center for Women in New York, SUNY Brockport, and William & Sonoma in San Francisco. “I’m a big risk taker, experimenting with different materials so my work can be a series of continuous failures until I figure things out," Guererra says. "I’ve explored different directions in my work over the years, but I think you can see the work of my hands or one signature throughout. "Some of my work achieves a sense of fluid movement with saturated color, while my newer collection is so textured, it is like frosting. I may start out with a plan, but then the painting may decide the direction. My most successful work should be complex yet minimal and look like it was easy, or just happened.” About Sorelle Gallery: Sorelle Gallery is a woman-owned fine art gallery and art advisory firm located in Westport, Connecticut.

"Coastal Sky, " Contemporary Abstract Painting
By Teodora Guererra
Located in Westport, CT
This contemporary abstract painting by Teodora Guererra features a light, coastal palette of blue, light grey and off-white. The artist applies thick layers of oil paint in sweeping, horizontal gestures to create a thick, textured surface. The painting is made on gallery wrapped canvas and is wired and ready to hang. Signed by the artist on the back of the canvas. Teodora Guererra’s abstract artistic vision has evolved throughout her years spent painting and teaching in Fairfield County, Connecticut; Tucson, Arizona, and upstate New York. Arizona’s naturally radiant landscape and arid climate led her to experiment with rich under-painting and vivid color; while the shifting seasons of the East Coast inspired Guererra to pursue dripping and staining techniques. Her focus has always been pushing the limits through experimentation with new materials. “As an artist, painting can be tormenting and sublime at the same time," the artist says of her work. "I'm a big risk taker, experimenting with different materials to layer, stain and saturate color on large canvases. My most successful work looks as if it happened all at once. It sometimes takes 7 or more paintings to produce a successful one and then it's a beautiful thing." Guererra received her undergraduate and graduate Art degrees from Southern Connecticut University, The College of Saint Rose and Skidmore College. Guererra’s paintings can be found in public and private collections across the U.S., including the Allmen Health and Wellness Center for Women in New York and SUNY Brockport, NY, William & Sonoma, San Francisco, CA. Her influences are Pat Steir, John McCracken, Helen Frankenthaler, Donald Jud, Bernar Venet, Agnes Martin and Brian Rutenberg...
