Houston, Texas, June 12, 2017 -- Luisa Duarte (www.luisa-duarte.com) is pleased to announce her representation by Art Nouveau Gallery (www.artnouveau-gallery.com) in Miami. Art Nouveau's program includes a focus mostly on abstraction and geometric abstraction with a strong emphasis on Venezuelan and Latin American artists, including such artists as Alberto Cavalieri, Rafael Barrios, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Arturo Quintero, Paul Amundarain, Héctor Ramírez, Sydia Reyes, Lía Bermúdez, Galvao, Ventoso, and others. Art Nouveau Gallery is located in Winwood, the epicenter of Miami's arts and design district.
"I look forward to this new collaboration with Art Nouveau Gallery, and Elizabeth Hazim de Castillo, its founder and owner, who has been a tireless champion of the arts and artists for over 30 years," Says Duarte. "The Gallery is one of the most important in Maracaibo, Venezuela, where I lived and my first works were represented by Art Nouveau, I am excited about this new joined effort .
Born in Venezuela, Luisa Duarte is a visual artist and world traveler with extensive ties to Latin America. As an artist with formal training in architecture, Duarte also found early inspiration in the geometric abstraction movement, all of which is loosely referenced in her work. Line and color provide important structural bases for an exploration of themes related to fragility-- understanding fragility as a range of experiences and events that trigger meaningful change and growth. She engages with these themes through a variety of techniques and mediums, which include monotypes, digital art and objects.
Luisa Duarte lives in Houston, where she shares a home with her husband and two dogs and welcomes visitors to her studio by appointment.
