Today we feature the work of Teressa Marie Valla. Read more below.
The “light,” that so elegantly highlights and offers distinctive boundaries between forms reminds me to seek the light in our relationships with each other as tender human beings.
The “light” shines as if from the interior of the leaves. Does your light shine outward for others to experience?
Teressa Valla’s work can best be described as a reverence to humanity, movement, space, life, and the unity of them all. Her painting, sculpture, and photography illuminate the harmony of nature and urbanity and the musical lyricism that connects them. Throughout her work are themes of dance, community, nature, and architecture. These themes are often entwined with one another, showcasing the affinity between people and their environments, both man-made and natural. Teressa Valla lives and creates a block away from Central Park. Her work is in the permanent collections of The Library of Congress, The Museum of the City of New York, Tribes Gallery, New England Center for Contemporary Art, The New York Public Library, and additional public and private collections.
MY DEAR TERESSA MARIE VALLA,
YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS ARE BEYOND SPECTACULAR. THE CONTRASTS OF GREENS, BLUES AND BLACK. THE LINES, THE LIGHT, THE GRACE OF THE SHAPES, AND SMOOTH AND SHARP CURVES OF THE DESIGN ARE PLEASING TO ALL THE SENSES. MOST OF US PASS BY THESE MIRACLES EVERY DAY, BUT DON’T HAVE TIME TO STOP AND OBSERVE THE GREAT BEAUTY IN THE WORLD AROUND US. THANK YOU FOR GIVING US THE CHANCE TO STOP FOR A FEW MINUTES, AND FEEL THE AWE!!
