“If you will stay close to nature, to its simplicity, to the small things hardly noticeable, those things can unexpectedly become great and immeasurable.”
Rainer Maria Rilke
A thoughtful addition to the Washington Color School heritage, Ana Rendich has made color one of her artistic tools and made the complexities of nature coherent. When she set the colors in her palette, is not a premeditated decision to make uplifting art or happy art...each piece is born that way. It is visually how she transforms the medium for that specific space...Probably is an interpretation of acute observations about life. And also the need to create hope and see that there is a possibility to live in a better world...
Rendich incorporates different elements, according with the sensibility of each piece, like the use or wood, fabric, metal, yarn and paper, besides oil, silicone, etc. I enjoy immensely the closeness with my materials, that intimacy…the tactile and physical connection too. It takes time to find materials that work with the guiding nature of my process.
