Garella | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

At the heart of his research, the painter has found his favourite theme by observing landscapes, which he loves to interpret, again and always. He is deeply inspired by works by the British landscapist William Turner and by the Chine artist Zao Wou Ki, Garella conceives of his canvas as a "meditative space in which dreams encounter nature." The painter approaches his subject like a sensory experience and sculpts the material, captures the light, using tubes, spatulas and paintbrushes to give birth to abstract, poetic and exalted compositions. Garella's lyrical works are made only with the acrylic paint he work on the support itself and they carry the viewer's gaze to the edge of the real, to the place where emotion meets dreams and perception seems to grow to reveal the inexpressible.
