NAUTICAL DESIRE_

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.
