About the Item
Abstract. Philosophical. Colorful.
As this piece evolved, we had a huge argument. I took a dark color, maddeningly placed it on the brush with great abandon and swiped it across the piece.
I stepped back and found the point of the work. Play. Dream. Bring them together.
Suddenly the work evolved into a hint at music, a guitar, an island, even a blend of the two.
Whatever your dream, this work invites you to play with it. Don’t let it die.
The bright sky so clearly blue as a background, entices your senses like the clearest bluest sky.
The contrasting reds, yellows and even purples express both the loss of the dream and the utterance of it, almost at once.

Arlette Stella
Arlette Stella is an abstract painter with occasional work that expresses surrealism. She is self-taught, late-blooming and unstoppable. Her work is characterized by bold colors, since she is mainly color-blind and needs bold colors to see the work. Arlette’s philosophical nature is the basis for her work. Every work is the result of a conversation she has had with canvas, paints and colors.
Each work aims to incur, inspire, and maybe even nudge (kick you in the yeah-butt!) the viewer to experience and act on kindness. Arlette states clearly: Kindness is my brand!
Arlette Stella is an artist member of the San Diego Artist Guild of the San Diego Museum and of the Artist Guild of Palm Springs/Palm Desert, among other artist groups.
