Artist Statement“…Colorful forms, lines, women figures and textures are combined to create art pieces that express a constant search for freedom. The paintings, video animations and music transport the viewer/listener to spaces where the skies and times are endless. The artist invites him/her to “become one with nature, the Universe and the Light".
Gabriela questions the systems and traditional myths and is interested in finding the Divine without necessarily practicing the rituals stated by any specific doctrine. She also defies the traditional roles of women in society, writing her own story -- a new story -- whereby the women in her paintings travel alone and unwrapped from traditional roles..." |
About the artist
|
Gabriela Esquivel is a Costa Rican-American interdisciplinary artist and author currently living in South Florida. She has lived in Germany, Switzerland, the United States, and Puerto Rico. During her fifteen years living outside of her country, she has constantly remained active as an artist.
She is interested in creating multimedia projects combining visual arts, music, and research. The title of her most recent project is "Costa Rica in Sound and Color," a project that includes paintings inspired by Costa Rican musicians, original songs based on Costa Rican rhythms, and music videos co-produced by Gabriela. Thanks to “Costa Rica in Sound and Color,” the government of Costa Rica awarded Gabriela the title of “Official Costa Rican Cultural Ambassador.” The project also won the Creative Investment Grant from the Broward County Cultural Division, and Gabriela won the Researcher of the Year from the College of Arts and Letters from Florida Atlantic University. Her previous projects, “Imagining the Sublime,” "Inner Heavens", “Soul and Mysticism,” “A Mystical Path,” “Sound of the New Sun,” and “Gardens of Freedom,” are inspired by the search for the Divine and a personal quest for freedom. She has participated in several art fairs like the Florence Biennale in Italy, Art Fort Lauderdale, Miami Art Basel week, Las Olas Art Fair, and La Campechada in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. In 2019, she published her first children's book, Gema, the Curious Butterfly, part of an award-winning project combining literature, arts & crafts, and music. She is an active volunteer of the Neighbors Volunteer Office from the City of Fort Lauderdale and Action for Literacy non-profit organization that has the mission to help literate the children in our community. La Fortezza in Florence, Italy, Interamerican University of Puerto Rico, Florida International University in Miami, GalleryOne Hotel, Atlantic Hotel, Plunge Beach Resort, W Hotel, Artserve, Mass District, and 33rd Street Wine Bar are some of the venues that have presented her past projects. Botello Gallery in Old San Juan Puerto Rico has shown and sold her work since 2005. She earned a BFA in Sculpture from the School of Fine Arts of Puerto Rico, a BA in Humanities from the Interamerican University of Puerto Rico, and a BM in Commercial Music-Composition from Florida Atlantic University. She is currently pursuing her master's in Jazz Piano Performance at Florida International University. |
