About The Artist

Timeless and elemental, Yuta Strega paints abstractions in the lyrical poetry of classical theatre, speaking of spiritual mysteries and wonders in pigments and oils on linen. Choppy, rough brushstrokes fill the smoothness of Strega’s surfaces with their staccato rhythm, obscuring traces of the past within the ethereal tones of her palette. Hidden in Strega’s marks the curved forms of bowls and vessels recall the last remaining relics of peoples and cultures long since gone. Subtle suggestions of faces and figures emerge from the paint as if drifting dreamlike through a storm of color and texture, coming into focus only briefly before melting away once more. As she gazes out over the rolling hills and gardens surrounding her studio and home, a world of grace and freedom forms under Strega’s brush, inviting the viewer to contemplate and celebrate the motions of its universal dance. There is a song in her paintings which cannot be denied, a concerto of the cosmos pulling us into the depths of its endless journey.
