Teresa Melo's painting is come from the movement that embraces abstract and gestural trends. With a vibrant color Expressionism and lyrical forms, the artist explores the idiosyncratic side of the unconscious in order to paint the "performance" in which prevails the intuition, sensory and emotion. Elaborate compositions where articulates the direct stroke, pure and simple, with overlapping spots and alternating strokes, suggesting mountains. The geometric figures present, in some works, are superimposed on the naturalness and automatism of painting, creating thus an intention that it is paradoxical to the common life.
