Internationally renowned and California based abstract artist Clara Berta creates captivating original paintings that have been exhibited and collected worldwide. Berta's artistic style draws inspiration from nature, particularly the calming hues and organic forms found in the ocean. She also explores the vibrant colors emanating from the psychological energies within the human body. Manipulating the artwork with several layers of mixed media and acrylic paint, she will work and re-work her canvases, layering textures to give added dimension. Berta’s paintings explore themes such as the ebb and flow of memory, the significance of personal heritage, the passing of physical time, desire, grief, and love. Her Hungarian heritage pushes through the joyful use of traditional clothing colors and the predominant theme of water for its natural healing properties. Her abstract works often include reminders of her travels expressed in unexpected sequences of patterns as well as distortion of perspectives and subconscious spaces.
