ESTHER ROSA AT SOHOTEL ARTSPACE GALLERY (March 2nd to 23rd)

I am so so so happy with this project: it really connects with my art!!. Since I started painting, my objective has always been to find serenity, hope, future, calm, peace.... In a few words, I tried really hard to start over and be myself again. There are so many times in life when circumstances make you lose that interior balance that everyone needs to find in life. So many times there are passages in life when you feel that balance is completely lost: dramatic events, big changes, a lost ...

When "Sohotel Artspace Gallery" approached me about their interest to bring my work to the gallery, they said they felt my work would fit well with the Gregorian Family Violin Benefit to be host on March 16th, to support the Robin Hood Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund. This time, a climate disaster stole precious things from so many families around the coast, so many lost everything, their homes, their memories, their lives....... I feel so grateful to be able to help build a new start, to bring hope, to bring at least a little portion of that interior balance everyone needs to hold in their life!!.

Here more information about the Classic Concert that Gregorian family will celebrate at the gallery where my work will be exhibit from March 2nd to 23rd.

'Breathing', de Esther Rosa, en la National Academy of Fine Arts de Nueva York

La madrileña que, por accidente, se convirtió en artista en la Gran Manzana.

09/10/2012

Todos nos hemos enfrentado alguna vez a la pregunta ¿Cómo te ves en tantos años? Cada uno tenemos una respuesta para ello, pero nunca sabemos lo que pasará realmente, si no, que le pregunten a Esher Rosa.

Esta madrileña estudió Psicología Industrial, después se enroló en un MBA y, más tarde, comenzó a trabajar en un departamento de Recursos Humanos. Una historia normal hasta que hace seis años se trasladara a Nueva York con su familia. Casi por accidente empezó a estudiar Bellas Artes por buscar algo provechoso que hacer en su vida y, poco tiempo después, sus obras comenzaron a ocupar manos privadas de la Gran Manzana, Miami o Madrid.

Más tarde llegaron varias exhibiciones grupales, su exposición permanente en las instalaciones del IESE de Nueva York y sus pasos más recientes han dejado huella en la Affordable Art Fair y actualmente en la National Academy of Fine Arts, un museo y escuela en plena 5th ave., con su primera exposición individual que se celebra del 9 al 27 de Octubre en la Galeria Sonia Getchoff.

La muestra 'Breathing' recoge durante este mes 15 pinturas y dos instalaciones con un carácter abstracto, impresionistas y muy colorista como principal seña de identidad de Rosa. Sellos personales que ya cuentan con el beneplácito de los críticos más respetados.

"Breathing" is mentioned on Expansion, Spain

TELVA OCTUBRE 2012

Telva Octubre 2012, Tiempo libre: Arte

Quiero agradecer de manera especial al equipo de Telva por contar conmigo en el numero de Octubre.

Tambien aprovecho para contaros un poco mas de mi.

Mi pasión por la pintura es una vocación tardía y una grandísima sorpresa para mi así como fuente de muchas satisfacciones.

Naci en Madrid hace 42 anos, estudie Psicologia Industrial y un MBA por el Instituto de Empresa. Ejerci como Gerente de Desarrollo de Recursos Humanos durante 7 anos en Antena 3 Television, trabajo que disfrutaba en plenitud y al que le dedicaba todo, pero en el 2006 un cambio de trabajo de mi marido nos obligo a mudarnos a Nueva York, donde desde ese momento vivimos.

Siempre he sido una mujer muy entregada y con clara vocación de trabajo, necesito tener un proyecto entre manos para dar lo mejor de mi. El tener que dejar mi carrera me supuso una crisis muy seria y me costo un enorme esfuerzo encontrar mi identidad y un proyecto con el que me sintiera feliz en mi terreno profesional. Sabia que no era el momento de ponerme a buscar otro trabajo en NY, porque mis hijos necesitaban mi atención y no me apetecía llenar mi tiempo con actividades que no me aportaran esa sensación de desarrollo personal.

De manera casi accidental, comence en el 2006 a tomar clases nocturnas en una escuela de Bellas Artes en Manhattan y al ano siguiente me encontraba cursando un Diploma en Bellas Artes.

Este periodo en mi vida me ha dado una gran lección "confía siempre en ti, busca en tu interior, no cierres puertas a nada, porque nunca llegamos a conocernos lo suficiente y nunca llegamos a saber lo que somos capaces de hacer". Yo jamas me había sentido especialmente atraída por la pintura, ni siquiera sabia si era capaz de pintar o dibujar bien, nunca me había puesto a ello, y la feliz sorpresa ha sido descubrir esta habilidad que ahora es mi nueva profesión y mi motor!.

Durante estos anos ya he hecho varias exhibiciones grupales y muchos de mis trabajos se encuentran en colecciones privadas de NY, Madrid y Miami. Ahora se pueden ver varias obras en las instalaciones del IESE en NY y ando volcada preparando mi primera exhibicion individual que se celebrara del 9 al 27 de Octubre en la Galeria Sonia Getchoff en la National Academy of Fine Arts, un Museo y escuela al lado del Guggenheim Museum en la Quinta Avenida. Si hace 6 anos me dicen que mi profesion iba a ser esta y que estaria ahora exponiendo en Nueva York, me hubiera tronchado de la risa!!!!. Lo que si esta claro es que con disciplina y trabajo constante uno es capaz de hacer lo que se proponga, como decia Picasso "cuando baje la inspiracion, que me pille trabajando".

Trabajo de 9am a 4 pm de Lunes a Viernes en mi estudio, tengo mucha rutina y en ese sentido soy una maquina, pero, no puedo inspirarme si no me desconecto con mi música preferida y a mi lado una botella de agua bien llena.

Mi estilo tiene raiz expresionista, en mis cuadros busco elegancia, serenidad, alegria.. y expresion. Formas organicas que la vida me inspira fluyen entre la paleta de colores armonicos y la superficie, a veces utilizo otros medios para estimular otros sentidos y comunicar algo diferente, tambien manipulo el pigmento para provocar oxidacion y asi obtener colores muy personales. Mi gusto estetico, mis raices y mis experiencias marcan mi estilo, es un proceso largo que va definiendose poco a poco a base de disciplina y constancia, pero al final lo encuentras aunque siempre este vivo y cambiante. Pongo mi musica y me dejo llevar y poco a poco se desarrolla esa conversacion con el lienzo, el proceso creativo es fascinante!!.

Mis inspiraciones son infinitas, un paseo por Central Park, una visita a una Galeria o a un Museo, la obra de artistas como, entre españoles Luis Feito, Tapies, Manuel Salinas, Esteban Vicente, Jose Maria Sicilia, Soledad Sevilla, Antonio Murado y artistas extranjeros como Cy Twombly, Helen Frankenthaler, Pat Steir, Zao Wou Ki.... , tambien me encanta la decoracion y muchas veces me inspiran los trabajos de decoradores, actualmente colaboro con un estudio de decoracion en NY, Richard Baquero Interior Design Inc.

Mi primer Solo Show se podra visitar del 9 al 27 de Octubre, el opening sera el Miercoles, 10 de Octubre de 6 a 8 pm, en la Galeria Sonia Gechtoff en el National Academy of Fine Arts en Nueva York, 5 East 89th Street.

Telva muchas gracias por apoyar a mujeres como yo que luchan dia a día para conseguir sus objetivos personales!!

October 2012, Free time: Art

Dear Telva thank you so much for including me at your October publication.

If you would like to know me better, here some information.

My passion for painting is a late call and it came as a great surprise to me. It has been a source of great satisfaction.

Born in Madrid, Spain, I earned a  M.A. in Psychology, specializing in Industrial Psychology, and later earned and a MBA from "Instituto de Empresa" Business School. I worked in Human Resources for 15 years in Antena 3 Television, and 7 years as Manager in Human Resources and Development, thriving in my career and fully enjoying it.  In 2006 my husband pursued a work opportunity in New York, and we relocated, here is where we live since then. 

I've always been a very dedicated person and a hard worker. Leaving my country, family and career behind was a serious move and it took a huge effort, that came with its many rewards. Almost accidentally, and because my children were still young and at the time needed much of my attention, instead if focusing on finding a new job opportunity, I started taking evening classes in an art school in Manhattan. I was hooked, discovered a talent I never knew I had resulting in that the following year I was enrolling for a Diploma in Fine Arts.

I had never been particularly attracted to painting, did not even know if I could paint or draw at all, I had never tried before. The amazing surprise was discovering this ability, which has become my new career and my creative engine!

During these years, I have done several group exhibitions and many of my works are in private collections in NY, Madrid and Miami. Now you can see several of my works at IESE Business School in NY and I am currently preparing my first solo exhibition to be held from 9 to 27th of October in the Gallery Sonia Gechtoff at the National Academy of Fine Arts, close by to the Guggenheim Museum.

My style has expressionist roots, my paintings have a look of elegance, serenity, joy. Organic forms that inspire me flow between a harmonic palette on the surface. Sometimes I use other media, I also manipulate the pigments to cause oxidation and thus obtain very personal colors. My aesthetic taste, my roots and my experiences mark my style. It is a long process that is gradually defined by discipline and perseverance; it develops gradually into a conversation with the canvas. Indeed, the creative process is both fascinating and fulfilling.

My inspirations are endless: a walk through Central Park, a visit to a gallery or museum, the work of artists such as: among Spaniards: Luis Feito, Tapies, Manuel Salinas, Esteban Vicente, Jose Maria Sicilia, Soledad Sevilla, Antonio Murado; and international artists as Cy Twombly, Helen Frankenthaler, Pat Steir, Zao Wou Ki. Presently, I am collaborating with Richard Baquero, of RAb-ID Interior Design Inc.
www.RAB-ID.com.

My Solo Show will be open from October 9th to 27th, the opening reception will be on Wednesday, October 10th from 6-8 pm in the Gallery Sonia Gechtoff at the National Academy of Fine Arts in New York, 5 East 89th Street.

If 6 years ago someone had told me that my profession was to be an artist and that I would end up exhibiting in New York, I would most likely cracked up! What is clear to me now is that with discipline and hard work you are able to do what you pursuit, as Picasso said to let inspiration get in you have to keep working.

This facet in my life has taught me a great couple of things: always trust yourself, look inside and do not close any doors; otherwise you'd never know what you are capable of doing.

Telva, thank you very much for your vote of confidence and for your support to women like me that pursuit their personal goals!
