Tere Abdala-Romano

My love for painting is an ongoing voyage into the unknown. The creative process, with all its uncertainties and surprise. In the realm of creation, I find my sanctuary, in the process, my meditation. I quiet my thinking mind, creating space for the enigmatic to emerge.

Nature, a stark contrast to my urban upbringing, has always fascinated me. My fascination led me to study geography, where I marveled at the ever-changing beauty of the Earth's elements, Clouds, Tides, Waves.

My artistic journey began when I met my mentor, Tom Wudl. He instilled in me the belief that creativity resides within everyone. With newfound fearlessness, I embraced the act of making marks on paper, learning that erasing was just as vital to creation.

My work is guided by intuition, free from expectations and judgments. It mirrors the dynamic, ever-shifting nature of the world around us.

I seek to capture the essence of nature's beauty, constantly evolving like the clouds in the sky. My journey has only just begun. With each stroke, I delve deeper into the enigma of self-expression and the endless wonders and mysteries of the natural world. Each painting is a revelation, and each moment is a meditation in artistry.
