Colorscapes: Explorations in Abstraction

Mirzam Pérez
  • Exhibit: March 13 - April 26, 2024
  • Reception: Saturday, April 6, 2-4pm

Mirzam Pérez is a Honduran-born, self-taught visual artist based in Grinnell, Iowa.

The paintings in this show explore my deep connection to gestural abstraction. In my work I apply paint intuitively, physically, letting my feelings take control of the artistic process. Sometimes my work is dramatic, sometimes it is tender. It is always fun.

I experiment with bright colors and a variety of techniques on large canvases. I love dripping, pouring, splattering, wiping, dumping, spraying, or doing whatever the canvas asks for. Working big allows me to bring the viewer into the emotional landscapes that inspire my work. These pieces reflect my journey in the last four years; moments of introspection, isolation, pain, joy, connection, frustration, and ultimately, my desire to celebrate life.
