Rio de Janeiro II (2009) Painting by Kakau

The hills have a particular shape in the horizon of the artist Kakau. In all works the line limits, summarizes and reveals the mountain that rises trying to reach the sky. The artist captures the space using only the form in its essence, a controlled negotiation, a pastime for the spirit. Kakau puts elements of her personality in all paintings; it works as a brand that easily identifies authorship. Kakau 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. Kakau is trying to project emotions, tell stories and represent a scene. If the artist is thrilled then many viewers will feel the same.
