The ceramist Nelise Ometto presents in this show her experience and years of success of her studio, blending ceramic and painting on canvas, using mixed media.

Inspired by Klint, Nelise Ometto has reinvented the patchwork of the Austrian painter, creating new shade effects in a subtil earth-colored painter’s palette, with clay and acrylic ink.

But what does Nelise want to tell us with these images of a surprisingly unusual universe? Only to report her own history with clay that made her ceramist, with fields that outlined an infinite horizon and colorful skies of her memories. Tree reflections, tree trunks and leaves designed the nature of her inner landscape.

The result of this work is a vision of tree crowns and vitórias-régias* which are transformed into mandalas that burst into ceramic fragments and drawings represented by collage inspired by an imaginary Gustav Klint of the Tropics.

Nelise Ometto has created her own universe that delights us not only with its formal simplicity but also with its complex creation, exposing in a chromatic way the emotions of an artist aware of her own art.
