Teresa Greve Wolf, is a Latina painter
based in the Midwest. Teresa was born and raised in Santiago, Chile and
immigrated to the United States some forty years ago with her spouse, who had
received a scholarship to study at University of California, Berkeley. Prior to
their move, Teresa had studied painting at the Escuela de Bellas Artes in
Santiago and subsequently followed her husband’s career move to the Midwest.
Teresa has earned awards at the Annual
Social Justice and Art Exhibit in South Bend, Indiana, and the Art Show
International I Los Angeles, received commissions from University of Oregon and
has been selected to participate in art shows nationwide.
Teresa is best known for her bold use of
color and brush strokes on large format canvases, as well as her deeply
transnational political and personal subject matter. Her expressive landscapes,
portraiture and floral motifs reflect the influences of Cezanne, Kandinsky,
Karl Marc, and Gauguin.
At the same time, her uplifting florals
both please the eye and demand respect. In short, you will see versatility
throughout her collection.
Teresa Wolf Artist
Statement
My artwork
insistently reflects my keen interest in bold colors, strong lines, and
constantly challenging the creative process. In my paintings, I innovatively
render and re-interpret diverse subject matter drawing upon a wide array of
aesthetic approaches, mark-making techniques, and visual sources.
A large
portion of my artistic production involves crafting series of works that are
focused on the same subject or variations of a theme. This approach allows me
to revisit the selected place, person, object or idea at the epicenter of
my inspiration in a mode that addresses my relationship to the subject in terms
of temporality, emotion, and sensory experience. At the same time, each
piece is infused with my personal interpretation and signature style, immersing
the viewer in the rich palette of colors and daring brushstrokes that
makes my work instantly recognizable. In this way, my artistic practice
serves as a vibrant visual record, cognizant of the fact that even as one's
subjects shift and change, each artwork embodies the essence of interpretation
and individual expression.
My art business has been designated as a "Trusted Art Seller" with The Art Storefronts Organization, which means you can shop with confidence, and know that I stand behind the quality and value of my products.
