Esperanza Tielbaard
Artist Statement/ Biography
Esperanza Tielbaard is an artist born in Colombia but currently residing in the United States. Already has been presented numerous times internationally in countries like England, Portugal, France and Colombia. Her first presentation with Downtown Fashion Week has led her to have the honor of being a special guest and gave her the title of being the Director and curator of art of this event. However, this is not the first time that the artist is presented at a fashion event and with such magnitude. Her works have already been exposed in multiple events at the Fashion Week International that took place in Syracuse, in the Most Museum, and at Couture Fashion Week in New York. Some of her works can be found on its web site: Esperanzatielbaard.com
Looking at her paintings, we can see that the notion of completeness is a recurring image in them. Her paintings contain various elements, such as lines, colors and figures that reflect the idea of abundance. It is in this way that she denounces the dissatisfaction that feel the human being so you have and their never-ending quest to fill with material objects. On the other hand, looking at her works the Viewer may notice immediately that the golden color is an essential part of them. The latter has different meanings for the artist. On the one hand it represents beauty, by the physical appearance of the metal, and the other represents the violence. The latter excels when thinking about the historical context of the gold, who was stained by blood and war. The artist believes that the exploitation of gold remains a topical subject which cannot be forgotten. There are multinational in their beloved Colombia and illegal groups that are still digging to appropriate it. This leads to the destruction of the fauna and flora of the country. It is from these events that the artist is inspired and created her works to sensitize people.
