“My abstract landscapes are intended to capture a moment in which we want to linger because the sight, the light, the color or the silhouette of an environment captivates us and we want to absorb it.”

Vanessa's artistic process revolves around the intricate layering of colors using a predominantly transparent acrylic technique on canvas, typically pure organic linen or cotton. Her keen attention to detail is evident in her quest to blur silhouettes and forms, aiming to capture the subjective experience of a landscape.

Her style is a mix of soft lines and color gradients, always with a twist of contrast and shapes that surprise and interrupt the artistic representation.

To create effects ranging from intense color bleed to sharp lines and contrasts, she always chooses organic canvas materials such as linen or cotton, which create a unique washed-out, lived-in vintage effect and also allow her to adapt to her clients' size requirements and the desired result.

“My style is constantly evolving, committing myself to a medium or color concept is not my nature. I want to be free as an artist to bring onto the canvas what touches me and evokes emotions. My pictures are about the interaction of technical skill and chance and mistakes during the painting process, which makes each picture unique and unreproducible.”
