ARTIST STATEMENT
"As time rushes forward, I glance back—only briefly—careful not to collide with what’s unfolding ahead.
What was once felt so deeply remains: that day, that moment, when the sun sank into the mountain and sky and land dissolved into one holding breath.
It mattered. It still does.
And as time keeps racing, each dawn brings a new vision to lay across the canvas.
What has been, was good; what comes next is better.
These paintings share a story of reflection, thankfulness. and commitment. Acknowledging time brings joy in the morning."
BIO
Giorgia Bel (b. 1990) is a self-taught artist who began painting in 2015 during a period of illness. What began as a means of coping became a profound passion.
Bel’s practice is grounded in memory, imagination and a tender, melancholic connection to place.
Rendered in milky, dirtied-down colour and suffused with the tones of dawn to dusk—the works evoke a drenched landscape, bursting with life and vitality. With skeletal trees and Rothko-like washes, her landscapes blend the known and imagined, guided by a philosophy of art as medicine.
