Gisela A. Lazarte (b. 1989) is an abstract artist, born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela. She has been based in New York City since 2016.

Gisela’s practice combines high amounts of intuitive creation with instances of careful observation; a constant trial-and-error experimentation. Her process is infused by an amalgamation of memories, present feelings, and sensory stimuli. Through this deeply personal approach, her work delves into a diverse array of subjects, ranging from everyday observations to questions about identity, belonging, and her experiences as both a first- and second-generation immigrant.

Furthermore, with a background in Film and Communication, her artwork places a special emphasis on conveying movement and exploring how sound and music influence our rendering of images.

Gisela’s washes and marks seek to encourage an intimate, unique, and expansive dialogue, propelled by feelings and subjective thoughts, between the viewer and the piece. She believes that art should be an active internal experience, not just for the artist but also for the viewer. Gisela finds that abstraction allows her work this level of freedom, in both expression and interpretation, striving to create paths that bridge connections for our own human experiences; beyond words and language barriers.

Gisela A. Lazarte has exhibited her work in NYC as well as in virtual international exhibitions. Her paintings can be found in private collections around the world, such as in the UK, Austria, Spain, Canada, Mexico, Chile, Venezuela and Peru, along with numerous cities across the United States.
