Welcome
to the rainforest on canvas - Artist Rosita Gottlieb's stunning
expressionistic images dedicated to rainforest conservation.
Inspired by conservation efforts in her native Costa Rica, this
acclaimed painter has been exhibiting her work in galleries and
museums and bringing the message of conservation to thousands through
the medium of art.
Her on-going series, wrote Aubrey Simpson in a cover article in
United Airlines' "Hemispheres Magazine," is "a mystical
journey that begins in the mysterious world of the rainforest and
leads to other more personal uncharted mysteries. Her primary medium
is oil, in which she blends various natural materials such as marble
sand and beeswax. This thickly textured paint is then applied to
the canvas using a knife to create a rich, hypnotic, multidimensional
effect."
Gottlieb, who currently lives in Los Angeles, launched her professional
career thirty-five years ago in Central America. She has exhibited
throughout the world, including Mexico City, London, Tel Aviv, Los
Angeles, San Francisco, Taipei, Hong Kong, Panama City, and San
Jose (Costa Rica).
