Gaby Acevedo - Mar - Nereia (XL)

Inspired by the light and calm of the Mediterranean, Nereia is part of the Sea Series. This contemporary abstract work, unique and original, is entirely handmade with acrylic on canvas. The composition combines a bright sky in pale blue tones, a sea of deep blues, and a subtle sandy stripe that adds balance and visual depth. I have sought to convey a sense of serenity, spaciousness, and contemplation, inviting the viewer to connect with the essential beauty of the Mediterranean shoreline.

About the artist:

My name is Gaby Acevedo, I am a visual artist, born in Argentina (1972). I live and produce my works in Spain. With more than 25 years of experience, I specialized in abstract art, mixed media, and collage. My artistic practice is built as a way of observing and dialoguing with daily life, especially with the urban spaces I inhabit. I work from painting, photography, and other visual languages to explore how the city shapes our emotions, memories, and our way of being in the world.
