Gabriella Blakey's gallery
Gabriella studied Graphic Design in Rome, Italy and has worked in this country for the last 30 years, painting and decorating furniture and objets d’art with pictorial compositions. Gabriella uses acrylics on wood surfaces which have been thoroughly prepared before hand. In order to protect and preserve the design, a silky smooth finish of varnish and wax is applied.
In addition to her painting, she has now introduced a new interest: intaglio, appliqué and inlay using veneers on wood. She continues to use a painted background, but applies cuttings of coloured veneers to create a decorative effect.
She says, ‘My graphic design background enhances my appreciation of harmony and symmetry in the designs I create for my painted pieces’.
