FEATURED:
Berta has been concentrating on abstract expressionism through painting and unique monotypes for over a decade. Her paintings and prints explore themes such as the ebb and flow of memory, the significance of personal heritage, renewal, the passing of physical time, desire, passion, and love. Her large-scale abstract works often include recycled reminders of her travels, bits of fabric, or eco-friendly / organic materials such as palm bark. Manipulating the texture with many layers of paint, she will work and re-work her canvases, layering, scraping, piling up textures to give added dimension, creating works that intrigue and invite the viewer in for closer inspection. 120 E. 8th Street, Ste 202, Los Angeles, CA 90014.
