Mystical Images at Galeria Vallarta
 Barbara Peters - PVNN
 Puerto Vallarta - At a recent Old Town Art Walk we had the opportunity to meet and get acquainted with the popular Guadalajara artist, Claudia Nery, who came to Vallarta to attend the opening of her exposition, "Mystical Images" at Galeria Vallarta. Claudia is one of the fortunate few who has found her own style and cultivates it without being repetitious. After 8 years of shows at Galeria Vallarta, she continues to excite her viewers with her innovative creations and vibrant colors.
Each of her artworks contain intricate patterns full of symbolism. She first lays a foundation by engraving the figures, then she paints on the design using ink, paint or both. Sometimes the background for her painting is textured. She is always looking for ways to develop new techniques and to cultivate new themes and is a master of all media. Each painting is a new adventure, as she moves from oil to watercolor, to mixed media, to acrylic, in a constant effort to stay fresh, constantly challenging herself by undertaking art from a new perspective.
Her paintings reflect a fusion of cultures, taking elements from Pre-Hispanic as well as African cultures, but there is also a cosmic element in her art with the sun and the moon being omnipresent throughout her creations. Her art is often referred to as mystical and offers the viewer a myriad of details to interpret.
In the photo Claudia Nery poses with Galeria Vallarta owner, Barbara Peters and one of her bronze sculptures, which is another new challenge for her. Her individual exposition will continue until Feb. 22, but her paintings will still be on display in both Galeria Vallarta locations: Juarez 263 in Old Town Vallarta, Local E-6 at Plaza Marina, and on their website http://www.GaleriaVallarta.com. |
