Artist Andrea Cazares
Yountville Arts invites you to attend the Opening Artist Reception for Andrea Cazares and view pieces in her new show, “Harmony, Unveiled: Nature's Symbols of Healing." Meet the artist and enjoy light bites and refreshments on Thursday, April 4th from 5:30-7:00 pm in the Steve Rogers Gallery. The Gallery show runs through May 3.
Cazares studied at the American University of Rome, where she immersed herself in religious iconography, art history, and ancient art-making methods. She resides in Yountville, is one of the resident artists at Nimbus Arts in St. Helena and has created commissioned pieces for wineries, individuals, and organizations,
Her Mexican-Italian heritage encouraged her to explore mosaic, fresco, gilding, ceramic, and sculpture, adding a deep context to her art. This exhibition invites you to explore transformative influences of carefully crafted symbols, each chosen to soothe the senses and nurture the mind. Her work provides a profound impact of positive symbolism on the human spirit.
Cazares stands as a beacon in the art world, captivating audiences with her exquisite blend of historical aesthetics and photo-realistic portraiture. Her work transcends time and culture, offering a captivating passage to a bygone era while evoking emotions that are both comforting and challenging. This unique perspective, blending local influences with a worldly essence, places her in the upper echelon of young local artists. Cazares remains dedicated to the spirit of continual rebirth and reinvention in her art, embracing themes of happiness, love, self-love, and the powerful essence of the world around us.
Cazares' current successes extend beyond regional recognition, with her work featured in shows throughout the area and in the homes of esteemed connoisseurs. Exclusive collaborations with private collectors and participation in prestigious art auctions define her artistic trajectory. "Harmony, Unveiled" presents a rare occasion to witness the latest collection of her work, as her pieces typically remain privately held.
This event is presented by the Yountville Arts Commission and runs through May 3.
