"Art is the alchemical expression of a magical life journey." - Ursula Schwartz

BIO

Originally from South Africa, Ursula Schwartz derived her talent from a dynamic pursuit of harmony with the forces of nature. Her connection with human and natural complexities have inspired a balanced application of design, color and intrigue.

Ursula's African roots enable her to cross the boundaries of genres to create a captivating fusion of abstract expressionism and the ethereal. Working mainly in oils and often adding mixed media to enhance her personal abstract language, her art is rich with texture, dimension and an adventurous color palette with expressive linear techniques.

ARTIST STATEMENT

I am passionate about my work. To me, words simply are not enough to express my opinions, thoughts and beliefs; therefore, I paint.

The variations I use in finishes, surfaces, and textures add dimension and detail to the canvas while emphasizing my creative process through visual language.

Art, at its most authentic core, is the alchemical expression of a magical life journey. It has the ability to transform space, create emotion and infuse energy.

As I personally evolve, so do my creative energies and direction - encouraging exploration of multiple mediums with expressions of passion, empowerment and vulnerability.
