From January 14th to February 4th, 2012, Elite Fine Art Galleries will present "Energy & Nature" an exhibition by Argentinian artists Marisa Leicach and Rosy Lofer.
For such occasion, Miami Art Gallery & Museum Examiner, Jesus Rojas Torres interviewed Miami-based Rosy Lofer in December 2011 and asked her about the reconciliation that exists in her busy life working as an International Real Estate Broker and an artist looking for a perfect visual harmony in her natural landscapes.
Miami Examiner: Why do you create art?
Creating art allows me the opportunity to disconnect from day to day pressures of life and escape to a world where everything can be perfect. Trees are always the perfect color, and everything can be in perfect harmony, as I perceive them.
Miami Examiner: Are you the only artist in your family? Tell us when and how did you get started?
Yes, I am the only artist in my family. I began to paint purely as a recreational activity mainly to relax. As my skills developed, I started to understand that there is a whole world of beauty that I can create by using my brushes and painting to express my inner thoughts, feelings and desires.
Miami Examiner: Who or what are your influences in order to create your work?
My teacher, Carlos Augusto Pereira, has been an enormous source of inspiration for me. When I first entered his studio years ago, I felt as if I had walked through a portal to another world. I found his paintings to be more than just paint on canvas, but actually a spiritual expression of his consciousness. While teaching the technical aspect of painting, he also continues to inspire me to express my inner feelings through art.
Miami Examiner: How do you get inspired to create a work of art?
I usually begin with a vague idea of something that I want to create, a water scene, a forest scene, or perhaps something more abstract. As I let my consciousness begin to flow freely, my work develops into something that represents some inner part of me. A place or expression that may not exist, except in my imagination.
Miami Examiner: How would you describe your work?
I try not to describe my work too much. For me, a painting may represent something as serious as a soul’s search for the right road to choose in life. A spectator may look at the same painting, and see a landscape with different color pallets on each side of a stream. I prefer that the viewers take their own freedom in describing which type of feelings my work elicit to them.
Miami Examiner: As an artist, how do you see life? Can you explain your relationship withyour spirit or soul?
My relationship with my Self, my Spirit, or my Soul, is a simple one of peace and harmony. A benevolent feeling toward all mankind. This is how all of my art work is interpreted by me. To strive each day to help make the world a better place than when I entered it.
