THE LIGHT - SYMBOLIC from the series " Brave new old Worlds"

Gabriëlla: “Gloomy people need light. Light a candle and everything looks better, no? So why don’t they make light?” Gabriëlla started thinking about that. It’s a metaphor, light as a positive vision on life. Light as a symbol. She already made some works in 2013 and only realised afterwards that the power of that metaphor was already in the paintings. Escape from the dark, entering the light. At a moment when she had some dark moments in her own life, she collected newspaper clippings. Inspired by the faces on the pictures she created her own story, her own vision. Gabriëlla: “The symbol of light is a universal thing. Christmas is a good example.” It’s about a positive way of seeing, everything clears up, the awareness kicks in. It’s looking for a grip, advancing, trying to get rid of the dark, the negativity.
