Marcela Bolívar’s digital paintings are a captivating exploration of the natural world, where the lines between reality and fantasy blur. This Brazilian-born, Colombian-raised, and German-based artist draws inspiration from botany, nature’s cycle of life and death, and the beauty of traditional still-life paintings. Her work is a unique blend of photography, painting, 3D elements, and sculpting, resulting in richly detailed and hauntingly beautiful pieces.
Bolívar’s paintings transport viewers to fantastical landscapes where flora and fauna morph into unexpected forms. Lush greenery intertwines with skeletal structures, and delicate flowers bloom from decaying matter. Her use of light and shadow creates a sense of mystery and drama, inviting viewers to delve deeper into the world she has created.
I enjoy using photography, painting, 3d and sculpting elements to create my ideas and to illustrate stories, music and concepts with a dreamy and surreal touch. I like to devote great effort into details of lush botanical elements, while paying special attention in creating mesmerising atmospheres.
