YLB -01
In this painting, a view of earth and water from a high vantage point creates a nearly abstract composition of blues and yellows. As part of her “YLB” Series, the artist explores the color yellow emitted by synthetic light in her paintings of natural occurrences.
Daniella Portillo explores the problem of memories betraying the reality of physical space in her paintings. In her work, she translates impressions from her childhood and, guided by the atmospheres of places recalls, creates vibrant, deep images which echo the sublime.
