Artist Choice
I would love to report on Adriana Yadira Gallego for my artist. Her symbolistic style really speaks to my mentality in conjunction with her pattern of paining. I appreciate her use of symbolism and simplicity of subject matter. I'm excited to present on her use of abstract expressionism as well as the strategic use of color on her canvases. Her use of symmetry as well as personal objects speak to my personal aesthetic. The sparse color and intense imagery are particularly enticing due to their ambiguity. Without such proliferation of abstraction the world would be a less interesting and analytic world.
