ARTIST STATEMENT
Inspired by nature, Argentinian artist Veronica Murphy’s works are boldly energetic, immersing viewers in a world of stark, contrasting colors.
“The energy issued by the painting should ‘capture’ the observer; make him stop, rest and feel the beauty of simplicity in such a complex world,” says Murphy.
She employs a mélange of elements from Impressionism, Postimpressionism and Fauvism in her use of pure colors. In her acrylics, she favors rich pastels over shapes, creating imagery that revels in nature’s unabashed bounty .
Working on medium and large canvases, Murphy fully exploits color as a structural element. Through quick, broad, energetic brushstrokes, she exclaims in visual prose what one often misses in a world filled with beauty.
In some works, the artist superimposes several layers, using acrylics or oils, occasionally even mixing in newspapers or magazine collages. It is through this “construction” process that Murphy achieves harmony and balance. In so doing, she expresses with passion her love of tranquility in a world of tumult and change.
