My name is Griselda Tello, I have been painting for over 30 years, my
main source of
inspiration
has been landscapes, specializing in painting mystical redwood forests to visionary scenery.
Some have called my work Metaphysical Surrealism, many of those images can be
found
in the cover of books, art magazines
or enhancing the web pages of writers and poets
at present time I am offering my original paintings and prints on the web.
Although painting is my
first love,
assemblage and art dolls has become an essential spiritual practice.
I love the process of sculpting with polymer clay and working with textiles,
yarn, fibers and beading creating a context
where magic
begins.
I've been inspired by many
cultures where dolls were made symbolic of the sacred...
full of meaning and creativity...here there is an element of reverence and
solitude that
guides me
gently into that type of art. It is a form of meditation...a beautiful Spirit dance.
