Works by Miriam Aroeste
Aroeste has many series of paintings and drawings to be proud of. Her individuality can be felt across each body of work, which are as unique as the feelings we possess when we see them. Being so biographical, Aroeste works on a series for as long as there is feeling left in it to explore, and then moves on without ever really looking back. “When I work on a series, I really go deep. When it’s complete, even if I try to add another brushstroke, there is something stopping me.” she says, holding her own wrist to illustrate the compulsion. It’s as if the creative flow is something so powerful, it is out of her control.
The far-reaching creative experiences of abstract artist Miriam Aroeste floods her work with a vibrance and life that jumps from her canvas as much as the vivid colours. Her curiosity and open explorations fill you with a sense of adventurous discovery, across layers of her personality as well as paint.
Bounding with energy, these lively pieces all tell their own story, and at the same time feel part of a bigger narrative. That comes from her deliberately inclusive and open style that welcomes anyone to become a part of her work and process.
“I am enamored with abstraction, because it is all created in the moment. A freedom in expression; it is whatever you want to see.”
Her vivacious works stand as mirrors to your emotions, and allow an emotive interaction that strikes instant connectivity between the viewer and the work. It stirs a reaction to the bold and unabashed power, transcending the manifestation of verve through colour and shape. You get an immense sense of the artist’s personal discovery and creative journey thanks to the tactile qualities of her creations. “I love to feel,” she urges, rubbing her fingertips together as if she can hold her style between them. “I love texture, and to touch.” There lies amongst the many levels and grains an almost comforting, nurturing feeling of self-exploration, adding depth to the many coats of meaning that make up her work.
