THE BOUNDLESS MNEMONIC EXPANSE
Susie Gadea develops a hypnotic trance careful of overlappings, of alternations, of iterations, each of which charts its own ascetic path, separate in context but concurrent with the mystical figuration of the whole. A totality that does not seek an identity in abstraction or informality, but is a fantastic experience of constant extrapolation, an agnostic journey into the terminology of color itself and the emotion that guides it.
For these reasons, each of Susie’s representations is an approach to different parts of the same vision that serves us to enjoy the moment, but above all leads us to consider the infinite combinations that vision obscures, the imaginative dimension that seems rooted in them, but in reality are alternative interpretations of the immersion in color as a fantastic chromatic liniment.
The color is extremely multifaceted, in its substance and its gesture, like a flower blooming or the sun changing every hour of the day, the nuances are endless as are the brushstrokes, the material treatment, the harmonious strokes with gentle scrapings, the radiances carried with the sweetness of abandonment and the strength of character of planning, of expressive organization.
This projection of Susie, ultimately sublime, attested to by a series of detailed records of inner development components, in no way affected but placid and childlike in its sense of precision and accuracy, is essentially, the cosmic joy of painting.

WE ARE LIGHT
There is no black. The language of happiness colors the canvases. There is no black. Creation happens here and now, beyond the senses, beyond reasoned structuring. Susie Gadea creates non-stop, translating light into small coordinates of green and blue, orange and lavender.
There is no time in this time. There are angels and birds of paradise whispering in the ear perplexing puzzles and zen-like messages. Illumination has no words and words are clues that mislead the heedless. To disclose the soul without words. To convey the joy of living in paintings acquainted with eyes and visions.
Perception, thinking, creating, in what order? Day and night, seasons, sounds and colors, in what order? We exist to be channels of happiness that sustain the universe. Each picture-window opens with the desire of giving and closes with the gratitude of receiving. Explain the sun, the cold, the random chirping of birds, the cry of nature. Explain the warmth of hands, the way of the kiss, the union of beings, explain it clearly and with good strokes and herald it to the hearts. Explain the rays that pass through colors and connect our existences in monosyllables and glances of affection. Explain what is so clear. Feel what is boundless, live beyond yourself. Life needs no crutches. Rise up and walk on all waters. Open your eyes and breathe. The universe has eyes like Susie�s, and it looks at you in the same way as the window-paintings of her house.

FORCE, LIGHT AND COLOR
Susie Gadea handles light and color with force and energy, with rotund brushstrokes later finished with delicacy and softness. Sometimes she seems the poetess of color, of dreams come true, of the place every human being wants to reach.
Here we find a painter who seeks to express all that her eyes perceive, everything that filtered through light suggests form or significance. She uses a pure and clean language, filled with tenderness at times or attempting to convey what the world is made up of, its egos and quarrels, its smiles and tears.
From whatever angle we look at her work, it conveys peace. She builds her expression through the colors of her palette, where suddenly yellows holler surrounded by blues or purples, for as ocean waves do, their strength may sometimes hurt us or their softness caresses us.
I think her palette is unmistakable, for through it she conveys us her thoughts. This painting reminds me of free art in its concept and of lyrical art in its content. Susie has created at an earlier stage works that recall George Seurat, but with the crystalline purity of water and certainly quite beautiful.
Susie has traveled the world, has drunk from the fountains of knowledge and witnessed mayor art events, she has therefore treasured wisdom and experience, which she has subsequently depicted in her paintings. Travel, culture and a conceptual foundation in psychology -degree she holds- granted her considerable potential to observe and grow in all fields, later enabling the her to earn the position she starts to occupy the in the lineup of art.

A PERFUMED FLIGHT OF LIGHT AND COLOR
Gentle, reflective and decidedly an artist, Susie Gadea has returned to the spiritual hub of essentiality, creating a renaissance of her own. Her pictorial letters are part of the inmaterial and universal movement that had Vasili Kandinsky as it modern voice in his treatise �On the spiritual in art�, published in 1910. But beyond this adhesion, very distanced in time, these images spring as a personal chant, neoabstract and bursting with double light -both physical and spiritual- as well as with the perfumed fragrance of the heart.
A creator from the root, consolidating both training and practice, she is more of an artist since deciding to deliver this series with which she is reborn. Her imagery depicts a song bursting with spiritual indicators, metaphors of shades and shapes that suggest without accurate translation. Any perception of structures or frames of reference vanish, all that seems real proofs illusory. What was perceived as a metric element suddenly emerges as an informal trace. Yet all allusions are part of a seamless whole, a fluent, radiant, varied and fragrant totality where things are neither real nor imagined, but overwhelmingly felt from the spirit, as something essentially pure.

THE SEARCH FOR THE SUBLIME
Susie Gadea�s cosmic consciousness determines her style of painting and her creation. She reveals a singular concept of structures that are weightless, aerial, almost immaterial. This is not about emptiness, on the contrary it is an interpretation of fulfillment through subtle variations of pigments and palette. Susie Gadea�s current production depicts her spirituality and emotions. If she inclines towards informality and effectively suppresses the subject, it is because this better transmits her quest. Her technique, willfully personal, is perceived as the concrete result of deeply rooted feeling and intellectual convictions. Beyond the choice, emerges an inner mandate. Without doubt, this creative period is a catharsis for the artist... the purification ritual and the search for the absolute that painting allows her to translate and transmit.

A FLIGHT TOWARDS LIGHT
Creator of a harmoniously playful visual universe, with delicate uses of texture and allusive abstract figurations, clean and passionately lyrical in its discreet profusion of rhythms, tints, melodies and warm hues. Monochromatic, subtly luminous, ethereal in atmosphere, somewhat white-washed and yet iridescent. The simplicity of Susie Gadea's artistic grammar conveys the inner convictions of a creative personality deeply immersed in spirituality and poetry -more temperate, enthusiastic and daring than tepid. In that context, the creative experience and the artist are a result of the same -and only- exaltation: the universal unity and diversity of life, with its essential duality: material and spiritual, physical and metaphysical.
In this series of works, of noteworthy intrinsic quality, she rises to a polished level in her refinement of gesture, matter and color. In these paintings' concealed minimalist instinct we recognize the unrestrained will of exalting the multiple dimensions and qualities unleashed by the essential. Painting of an artist that seems to adopt nature as her preferred teacher and her spiritual reality as privileged source of inspiration. Effective to a large degree in her search of an expressive synthesis, surprising in its evoking potential, Susie Gadea has presented her first solo exhibit as a true artist that decides to explore her personal abyss and transmute, in highly poetic and suggestive images, the harvest of her own spiritual growth, her feelings, emotions and most intimate visions.

THE CONNECTION, THE CENTER AND THE SPACE IN PAINTING
Planted in the expanse of painting, Susie Gadea shows us a vision of the being. Decoding abstract symbolism and intrigues of meaning amplifies and attests her intentions: to rescue the center, the being's lost light. An abandon and return to the origins. Her own awareness and perceptive framework is revealed as both form and significance.
We still ignore why in these pictorial texts Susie Gadea demythifies the very concept of painting. The truth is that through her particular treatment of the elements of visual language, she establishes an innovative dimension of painting based on a single expressive premise. Evidently, this is painting marked by the opposition of matter and memory. It is not that she refuses to promote the models established in painting in the last thirty years, yet from that perspective, what emerges is transgression as meaning and method in art. The artist's search is not only artistic but also philosophical. Painting is the philosophy of her sense of sight. What extends and is inferred from her work is the levity of pictorial symbols, her personal form, her specific meaning. The artist aspires to the sprouting of the being and the transformation of the myth of painting.

FLYING, IN PEACE, TO THE ESSENCE...
Exploration, expression and experience of correspondence between images and a feeling of spiritual wholeness, of ultimate freedom and etherealization under the mantle of the symbol of flight. Everything related to that intangible certainty is expressed in a technique cautious of redundancy and repetition. Painting of suggestions, colors of murmured sounds, images of a reality condensed in an elegant chromatic scheme that evades all loudness and totality, yet contains an impressive diversity of tones and hues in its silent existence. The spirit adopts attributes related to birds, elevating itself above the material to build a tranquil and melodious space of impressively simple metaphors, with an intriguing and inspiring cleanliness and stylistic coherence. The feeling of sublimity, fulfillment, openness, freedom and the ecstasy of serenely flying over life are expressed in these images, and is printed on our souls�
