Loretta Kaltenhauser's 'Bird of Paradise' is a captivating blend of contrasting colors and bold designs that showcase the painter's mastery in abstract art. The vibrant interplay of ivory, black, aqua, and purple brings to life flowing shapes and textures, creating an aura of intrigue that resonates with modern interiors. Every stroke and texture on this canvas portrays a sense of dynamic elegance, making it more than just a piece of art; it's a modern vibe encapsulated within bold shapes and a rich palette.
As a contemporary, award-winning artist, Loretta expresses her visions in a spontaneous and direct fashion. Acrylic paint is layered, subtracted and manipulated using palette knives, brushes and scrapers to synthesize an intricate and distinct tableau. Colors and shapes take on an energy of their own and each layer of texture and color she adds reinterprets her thoughts and emotions. Loretta works with the passion that her motifs, their essence, will stimulate the mind's eye of the observer. Loretta has now been creating full time for the last twelve years, and in that time has established herself as an accomplished contemporary artist with collectors in Canada, the United States, Europe, the U.K. and Taiwan. As a self-taught artist, Kaltenhauser is fearless and approaches her work with respect but without ceremony. Her vision seems unclouded, uncluttered. Perhaps it's her open attitude that allows her a certain freedom. Over time, but within her own timelines, Kaltenhauser has embraced her abstract style – a style that exudes life and shimmers with color and textures from the weathered and organic to the sleek and contemporary, and a style that reflects that of an artist who has found her calling.
