Tropical Forest 1 (2016) Painting by Raquel Carraro

"Being able to create anything from a blank canvas is really fascinating. Creating is an act of courage, a challenge, an uncomfortable action that takes us on unknown paths and gives us the opportunity to see the new. It is incredible to think that things that we create only exist because we are living here, now, at this very moment in the world. I rejoice in creating by transmitting all my love in each brushstroke, and in realizing that I am an instrument, a part of the whole. I believe that each work is a source of good vibrations and can positively impact people's lives. I believe in the transforming power of Art" Raquel Carraro. She is a colorist with landscape paintings as the focus of that interest. Her works are not portraits of places but scenes that are subjected to abstraction, still recognizable but infused with colors and values beyond the normal. She explores landscape themes, subjecting them to dramatic extremes of light and color combinations that are richly stimulating and at times poetic. Art is not something we have to have, but for many of us we like the feeling of artwork in the home or public spaces. We create a need in the viewer’s mind by making compelling artworks and ideas that go beyond the commercial clichés. Carraro is trying to project emotions, tell stories and represent a scene. If the artist is thrilled then many viewers will feel the same.
