Teodora Guererra"What's The Story", An Original Thickly Textured Abstract Painting2025
2025
About the Item
This large abstract statement painting by Teodora Guererra features a soft, airy palette of pale whites, icy blues, hints of sage green, and touches of lavender gray. The artist builds the composition with dynamic palette knife strokes layered in a rhythmic, sweeping motion that fills the canvas with movement and texture. The thick application of paint creates a dimensional surface and a sense of light dancing across the piece. The piece has a sculptural quality, with the impasto technique adding dimensionality to the work. Painted on gallery wrapped canvas, the textured strokes continue around the sides. The painting is signed by the artist on the back and comes wired and ready to hang.
Teodora Guererra’s abstract works are deeply shaped by her travels across the United States and abroad. Her time living in Arizona sparked a love for the region’s radiant landscape and arid climate, inspiring her to explore vibrant color palettes and richly layered underpainting. Later, the shifting seasons of the East Coast influenced her to develop gestural, textural techniques—most notably her signature dripping and palette knife applications.
In her most recent series, Guererra continues to explore the emotional resonance of texture and color. Working in thick impasto, she creates meditative compositions that evoke nature’s quiet power. Love Letter, with its layered whites and soft undertones, captures fleeting moments and the whisper of memory, while Layered builds a grounded intensity through tonal bands of blue and grey—suggestive of seascapes or shifting skies. These works reflect her ongoing commitment to material experimentation and an intuitive response to light, movement, and atmosphere.
Throughout her career, Guererra has drawn inspiration from artists such as Pat Steir, Joan Mitchell, Larry Poons, Helen Frankenthaler, and Morris Louis. She holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in Art from Southern Connecticut State University, The College of Saint Rose, and Skidmore College. Her paintings are part of numerous public and private collections across the U.S., including the Allmen Health and Wellness Center for Women in New York, SUNY Brockport, and Williams-Sonoma in San Francisco.
“My work is rooted in the physical act of painting. Using palette knives, brushes and thick paint, I build dense, textured surfaces that are as much about the process as the composition. The work allows me to express what is felt rather than seen - gesture becomes language, and layers become memory.
Place deeply informs my work. Living in the expansive desert landscapes of Arizona, I first began experimenting with bold color and saturated light. Later, on the East Coast, I became captivated by the atmospheric shifts of the seasons and developed a more layered, emotive approach. My recent paintings are shaped by these contrasting environments—quiet but tactile, restrained yet expressive”.

Teodora Guererra
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 in her paintings through experimentation with new materials.
“As an artist, painting can be tormenting and sublime at the same time," Guererra 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 achieves a sense of fluid movement with saturated color, that is complex yet minimalistic. The end result should be a painting that dances across the canvas and quiets all the noise.”
Guererra received her undergraduate and graduate art degrees from Southern Connecticut University, the College of Saint Rose and Skidmore College. Her 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, Williams-Sonoma, San Francisco, CA. Her influences are Pat Steir, John McCracken, Helen Frankenthaler, Donald Judd, Bernar Venet, Agnes Martin and Brian Rutenberg.
