About:

Artist Esther Arias was born in Jaén, Spain. She studied marketing in Madrid and Los Angeles but soon exchanged marketing tools for paintbrushes. Although she started as a decorative artist, her wish to experiment with color, light and shadow made her venture into the world of paintings. One could say that she is self-taught and that her work is intuitive. For 12 years Esther opened her workshop to the public serving as an art gallery in Barcelona and is now based in Madrid. She has held exhibitions in Copenhagen, Brussels, Berlin, New York, Buenos Aires and Spain. “Painting originates from a need to create with colors. A white canvas is my instrument to reflect emotions and moments in time. The streets, the landscapes of Spain, the force of the sea, the ochres of autumn or the festivities of spring are all my inspiration,” commented Esther. www.estherarias.com
