Gabriela Szulman is a painter and printmaker. Predominantly inspired by memory and memories, each image is constructed through layers, much in the way that memories are constructed. The result is a combination of textures, shapes and photographs. The photographic component of the work, often blurred, faint and subtle, has become the "anchor", or focus for each individual piece. "Old family photographs are emotionally powerful metaphors for human memory". She says, adding, "They represent an irrecoverable past, something that has been and will never be again. They are personal documents which tell a story, both through the moments that have been captured and through those that have been left out." Gabriela Szulman attempts to capture the tangled web of emotional and visual associations which constitutes our personal memory, and at the same time evoke the viewer's own meanings, stories and recollections. Gabriela Szulman is happy to undertake commissions.
