Press Release

Growing up amidst the beauty of Andalusia, self-taught artist Almeriane fell in love with the landscapes of southern Spain. She has brought this personal history to her paintings, both in oil and watercolor, merging those memories with a surreal art-nouveau style. Almeriane's lush paintings express traditional ideas of male-female roles in unique tableaus before dramatic Spanish backgrounds and Moorish archways. Her subjects, partly glamorous, partly surreal, mythic figures, are reminiscent of Klimt, who also portrayed lovers wrapped in the gold and multicolored patterns of their passion. Almeriane's beautiful young subjects express human complexity in the faces which top their cloaks' collars. There is as much ambivalence in these portraits as there is sublime passion. Almeriane has brought to us a complex vision of love: the beauty of nature as a setting, the mystical universe as a royal robe which enwraps us, and the desire which binds us. In passionate embrace, the boundaries among these realms melt, and in Almeriane's work that ideal has become real. Almeriane has shown her engaging works in Spain, France, Italy and the United States.
