Modern&Abstract Art

Cubist - Modern - Abstract Art

Gabriela Rosas works with various degrees of abstraction - from the reduction of the depicted objects to the essentials - through the pictorial representation of an idea - to the play with the free movement of lines and forms.

The hieroglyphics of the Maya are per se abstractions of concepts (Link)

And the dream world of Atlantis is far from reality (Link)

The following two works are inspired by churches. The windows are displayed in black as negatives, the color and shape impressions are picked up on the remaining area.

The windows of the church designed by Gaudi create fascinating light effects in the church.
