Gabriela Niejadlik is a 30 year old artist working in a variety of media. Currently working in gouache.
Bio/Artist Statement:
My work celebrates the richness of nature–each piece aims to be a decadent sensory experience. Nature’s generosity and abundant palette motivate my color choices. My work is a love affair: the pleasure of painting, the anticipation of seasonal changes and the plants that arrive in the ever-changing landscape. I live on an island where I bear witness to this stream of change which informs my work. Sensuality engages a tango of creative discoveries: my excitement for the smell of spring lilacs and salt water, simple pleasures that benefit all. I am submerged in the wonder of nature and the plenitude of color at all times. I am humbled by the happiness these experiences bring me and it is this happiness which motivates my work as well; it instills gratitude for the chance to paint and to experience the world the way I do. Gouache is my medium of choice currently but I have always been influenced by many other traditions.My work has been refined by each new medium I try and informed by the diversity of my art abilities. I’ve worked in video art and photography, focusing on the spaces surrounding me and my movement through those spaces. On paper, the brush strokes become my limbs, on a slightly smaller scale, surrounded by the colors of the outside world. These works are a small glimpse into the vast realm of my delight in spontaneous visual pleasure.
