Hier findest du über 100 Arbeiten, die das Lebensgefühl, die Diversität, den Verein und den Stadtteil St. Pauli aus den Blickwinkeln ausschließlich weiblicher, trans, queerer und non-binärer Kunstschaffender feiern.

Solo Expo "Palabras Perdidas"

November 2019 / Hamburg

„These powerful tones on their most intense shades remind me of how alive I am.“ Says Spanish born artist Ela Besela about her works. „Feelings have no form or color per se. Still, they shape our lives and define our perception of people and things around us. I chose to paint emotions, the inside of things because I don’t feel the need to reproduce the outside, the surface of what we consider our reality.“

Elas work is filled with recurring symbols like hearts and eyes – windows to the soul and the truth.
The exhibited collection “Palabras Perdidas” (“Forgotten Words”) includes a script that sets each artwork in a bigger context. For the viewer, this second layer offers unique additional access to her works.

So, let’s dive into the bright and colorful world of Ela Besela. There’s a chance we might find some of our own feelings laid bare of the canvas.
