SusAnn | Painting

Guerrera’s choice of color and form is deeply symbolic. The canvas acts as a dynamic mosaic, where rich blues and purples meet with vibrant yellows to create a transcendent effect. This spiritual resonance in abstract work is not without precedent, echoing the ethereal qualities of Kandinsky’s early abstract compositions, which were often inspired by his synesthetic response to music and color. In SusAnn, the interplay of light and color transforms the two-dimensional surface into a portal for contemplation, a visual sermon that invites the viewer into a state of reverie.

The painting’s is part of the ShaManic Art Series and suggests it is not merely a portrait but an intimate representation of an inner world. Through this work, Guerrera explores the deep connection between inner spiritual states and external artistic expression, much like artists in the Symbolist movement who sought to represent subjective realities and emotions. By inviting the viewer to contemplate a “state of mind,” the work becomes a shared experience, a journey into the depths of a personal and universal human experience.

Beyond the canvas, the painting SusAnn has been extended into a textile design, purchase your wearable art from Tania.Guru:

The use of smooth, comfortable microfiber yarn for the fabric allows the wearer to quite literally inhabit the art, making a statement with what the artist calls “wearable art”.
