About Me
Hi! I'm Anelisa. An abstract artist from Lima, Peru.

By using vibrant colors and vivid textures, I invoke emotions like passion and joy within my viewers. I begin each painting freely often with just a few lines, shapes and colors. My intuition guides the whole process and allows my work to evolve organically. I create art because I enjoy  the spontaneous and intuitive process of seeing my work transform and evolve. Using bright colors and varying textures is how I express emotions of energy, joy, calm and serenity. I strive to make each of my paintings unique, full of energy, and ultimately meaningful.

Most of my work consists of fluid acrylics and ink. With acrylics, the canvas is usually coated with multiple thick and thin layers. And with ink, there is no structure. Often, applications are made freely, combined with drips, pours, and scribbles allowing for a feeling of unpredictability. In essence, my style can be characterized and identified by the use of beautiful, vibrant colors. ​

I am inspired by my cultural South American background which is reflected in the use of cool colors, splashes, and movement symbolizing warm weather, sunny days, and happy people as can often been seen in several of my paintings.
