"Untitled" First Charcoal in the series

This “Untitled” piece is to represent how music has the capacity to take our thoughts to new emotional landscapes that we desire to be in. This artwork was also created at the peak of my fascination with Salvador Dali and the surrealism movement. This image reminds me of how music can fill a space and give us permission to sit in its presence and feel known while being silent. Music transcends what we see and connects us to new ways of feeling and can soften our emotions to find rest.  #artbycontessa

Contessa: Visual Abstract Artist

Based in La Jolla, California, Contessa is a visual abstract artist whose work delves into the interplay of beauty and pain, healing and deep cuts, narrating her journey as a rising phoenix. Her recent creations invite viewers into new emotional experiences, utilizing pastels and bright contrasting colors to evoke profound responses.

Influenced by Frida Kahlo and the Surrealism movement, Contessa’s mixed media pieces are rich with layers of mediums, emotions, and textures, building momentum that elevates the soul. Her charcoal works add a melancholic touch, offering depth to each piece’s narrative.

Her creative process involves embracing authenticity, allowing her soul to play and murmur within her images. She surrenders to the creative beast that gnaws at her heart, eager to explore and live fearlessly. Music, unbridled moments, and observing light breaking through darkness profoundly influence her work.

Contessa’s art holds space for both beauty and pain, healing and deep cuts, unraveling her story of a rising phoenix. Her work takes viewers to new places, with each piece serving as a focal point that elevates the spirit and meets the needs of the soul.#ContessaArt
