Abstract art Los Angeles

It has been my pleasure to work with the Award Winning Artist Clara Berta for the past 4 years. Clara recently sold more works of art that are being shipped to the East Coast, as abstract art continues to gain in popularity the number of inquiries and bids for interior design jobs is on the rise.

Clara Berta also teaches a healing arts workshop with focus on abstract mixed media. The feeling of the work and the choice of colors and techniques make for some impressive results.
Here is an example of a work from Clara's "Flow" series.

What is abstract art?

Here is the dictionary definition:
ab·stract art
noun
  1. art that does not attempt to represent external reality, but seeks to achieve its effect using shapes, forms, colors, and textures.

Notice the word "effect" in the above definition, this is the key as we are trying to communicate via the work or expression. Abstract artists feel the same way about their works as a landscape painter might feel about a recent photo realistic work they just created. As an example, when Clara talks about her process and result, it is with the same passion as an artist who is proud of a detailed portrait they just created.

To better understand the idea that abstract art has the same value as realism or other mediums, we look at Pollock who through experimental workshops and the study of various cultures artwork that was achieved using a "drip method" and begin to realize that both forms of art are deliberate. When an artist throws paint at a canvas and hopes for the best, that may be a style but it is not the norm for abstract artists. Clara Berta layers her works and uses various tools to achieve depth and texture. The use of color is inspired rather than pre-determined, both have equal value and both have a specific effect on the viewing audience.

A work or art that provokes joy or sadness or any feelings at all has done it's job in the same way a film or song might bring out feelings in an audience, as we continue to sell works by Clara Berta, it is obvious that the public is hungry for more expression and color, that is the current trend and we are here to fill the need.

For more information about abstract mixed media art, contact Clara Berta who is an expert in this field.

Fabian Perez dedicates a work of art to a collector as his wife looks on.

It was a packed house at The Village Gallery.
The gallery provided snacks, music and wine for guests,
and the artist talked about what inspires his works and gave
collectors more insight as to the meaning of the art.

After dedicating a work to this new client, Perez stopped to take a few photos
for the clients wife who was waiting at home for the new work to arrive.

Some of the last of the Extra Large canvases as the one behind the
front desk of the gallery, sold at the show and received special dedications
to the clients. The client in this case also received a free $350.00 value book
with a bonus print inside. Perez hand signed and dedicated the book as well.

This new collector purchased a hand signed limited edition work
for his soon to be wife. The artist added a special dedication in Spanish
on the back of the art at the clients request.
