Patricia Bertisch was born in Argentina. While growing up, the arts were her second home; she studied Sculpture, painting and drawing.
When she was young she majored in Apparel Design, Furniture Restoration, Stage Techniques, Polychrome and Faux Finishes. The Fine Arts were her passion and she studied with great masters such as Aldo Severi, Silvia Brewda, Monica Cortes, Manuel Cesio, Alex Mathew (disciple of Dick Smith) and Fernanda Rovarella (decorator, Sherwin Williams Argentina).
At the same time with her artistic career she never left her social vocation, and studied Social Psychology and Creativity. She worked in several private and public schools in Argentina, developing various workshops about Expression, Art and Creativity.
She continues her work in USA participating in exhibitions, art shows and community events. She also developed an art program for all ages.
“Everyone can reach the self-expression through the Art practice.”
Lately, she has designed “Art on Walls ” projects and painted on several surfaces such as walls and ceilings. She has made commission in artwork at commercial stores and lounges in Miami.
Artist Statement
As a child I was fascinated by the images I found everywhere. I remember a humidity stain in one of the walls in my room that every night I would turn into a different story.
This game I played for years then became an exercise that I used as a beginning in order to express what I felt inside.
Sometimes, from the spontaneous mixing of fluid colors and feelings, every piece of work appears to form abstract shapes, other times figures and symbols, that define the art piece.
This process brings light to my thoughts and feelings and therefore every piece of art I make turns into an enigma that I have to solve, and a project that I have to work on. My major aim is to sustain that creative moment and build in it a bridge between reality and what is imaginary; between what is possible and what isn’t, between body and soul.
Art for me is the spirituality that accompanies me along my life.
