About Me:
|
|
Maite Tobon brings an energetic, vibrant and simplified view of figures.
As an artist, she has distilled her memories into figurative paintings which
blend influences of the Caribbean Coast life and the African culture.
She likes to show through her paintings a culture and life style where the
people work very hard yet they seem to be happy most of the time, and
they show
it through the rhythm and movement of their bodies and the vibrant colors of
their clothing. They have no faces because they are anonymous people that
represent a part of the world that is not easily comprehended and rarely
listened.
Acrylic is her preferred medium and sometimes she uses a texture of molding
paste that gives the painting realism and movement, as well as visual and
tactile effect.
Maite has been painting professionally for several years and she participates in
open and juried art shows in her home state Oregon. Her art is collected internationally
and is recognized for its unique style and color.
She auctions her artwork on eBay to gain world wide exposure, and offer an
affordable channel to collect her paintings.
"My art is the expression of my feelings and the emotions of my
soul..."
