About me
I paint to spark your imagination, to make you wonder, and above all, to make you feel alive and love what surrounds you.
My landscapes explore the raw, definitional forces of Earth, how these are used to create the new, and constructively destroy the old. My depictions of wildlife explore how consciousness and intelligence manifest in other life forms. My human subjects are glimpses into the intimate moments when we search for our true self.
I see these forces manifesting as vibrant colors, variations between soft and detailed to playful and thick brush strokes, with shapes that move from the figurative and realistic, to the imaginary and the abstract, in search for what abides behind reality.
Resume
Rebeca Fuchs was born in Madrid, Spain, where she graduated from ‘Universidad Complutense de Madrid’ with a BA in Fine Arts, and an MA in Furnishing Design. For almost two decades, she developed a successful professional career as furniture designer, creating numerous collections for the retail and contract markets and working in both boutique and major hotel projects, such as Four Seasons, Starwood Group, Como Hotels, Hilton and many others.
During her career in the hospitality industry, Rebeca worked and lived in Europe, Asia and the US, experiences which enriched her both professionally and as a human being. She started to combine art and design projects, and after motherhood, she decided to channel all her creativity into painting.
Her art work uses figurative representations in vibrant and intense colors, to find beauty, and express a different array of emotions. Interested about Life and its multiple manifestations in plants, animals, humans or in landscapes, her work explores all life around and inside us.
