Artist: Esperanza Tielbaard A native of Colombia who specializes in creating figurative, landscape and modern abstract art, Esperanza Tielbaard delights in experimentation in her quest to please art lovers seeking the unique and distinctive. The artist uses many modern materials as well as metallic acrylic paints in vibrant and dynamic colors which produce fascinating visual effects when seen from different angles.
"Most of my artwork is also textured as this instantly distinguishes it from reproductions or prints," notes Ms. Tielbaard. "Textured art can be very eye-catching - you could look at it for hours, trying to figure out all the wonderful images/shapes your imagination creates." The dimensional feel creates a special relationship that makes the artwork more interesting and full of life. More information: www.goldenbirdhope.com
