Marcela in her studio Like an intimate window into the primal elements at the heart of our world, surges of vibrant color and lushly textured shapes thrive on Marcela’s canvases with barely contained energy. Her abstract paintings fully embrace the mystery of nature, in which distinct particles come together to create beautiful, mesmerizing patterns. This richly organic aesthetic, a confluence of discrete parts and a visual sense of flow, also has a direct parallel in her creative process, a fervently held personal vision, which she transfers to the canvas.
Although her choice of materials has evolved, from oils to acrylics and collage, Marcela has always placed her faith in subjective inspiration. Marcela's true muse comes from her unconscious, not from outside objects or preconceived ideas. For Marcela, the work process is about letting what is inside come out, an internal exploration brought forth and presented as a form of personal communication from her to us. She is also deeply spiritual in her art in that she regards herself as a mere guide to these visions, as well as a navigator through the impressions of what she calls her personal journey in search of self.
For Marcela, a canvas is a place where the unknown can be manifest. This process leads to her vivid, stunning arrays of form and motion, like stained glass figures come alive, animating a world of sensations, which would otherwise lie dormant.

To pass along these feelings to the viewer is a major inspiration for Marcela. She strives to communicate through her work at a visceral level beyond conscious thought.
They say truth is beauty. This is an idea that has been gorgeously manifest in Marcela's paintings, through which one soul has transferred her honest impressions. If we allow ourselves, and are equally honest, we take them in and are nourished emotionally and spiritually.
Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Marcela currently lives and works in the San Francisco Bay Area of California.
