Elsa Koop-Angelicola

"The goal of my painting is to capture the raw power and beauty found in nature. I aim to establish a dialogue with the viewer through a dynamic composition of movement, color and form. These are the driving visual elements of my painting and all of my formal choices are intended to evoke an emotional response to the places I paint.

In my drawings, the concepts of emotion and interpersonal relationships are elements that are explored and established. With my chosen subject matter, I manipulate color, light and form to express deep emotion while playing with the aspects of the human psyche. My drawings are a reminder that we are all human and often more complex than what is seen on the surface."
