“I create art to feed happiness”
“My artist’s eyes seek the essences, the soul and I think I find them in subtle things that surround us. My hands do what my eyes see. My work says what my mouth conceals and my mind thinks. I hope your skin understands it”
Ángeles Nieto’s art is colorful and vibrant, full of poetry and humor. It resonates with the echoes of her Spanish roots in color use and choice of themes and forms. It is the southern influences of bright light, transparency and the cheerfulness that the sunlight spreads which she interprets with contemplated and exuberant color use. A positive view of reality, she creates a world where people and animals tell their essence. It is her personal vision of life: dream, light, warmth, flying and the universe. Vividness surrounds her work, a quality that she also radiates personally. Picasso, Miró, Barceló, Chagall and Tapies are of great influence in her work.
