SACASAS, Gilda

"A Painter with a Passion"

Sacasas is a Cuban-American contemporary artist who focuses on figures and color.  Colors that endow her pieces with light, depth, mood, movement and energy projecting inner spiritual peace.  Through her bold use of color, the real world she sees, becomes her world on canvas.  Her inspirations come from life experiences, memories, and feelings, painting from the heart. 

"I paint about life, mine and yours, it is all part of my inner growth.   I taught myself to see, how to perceive through my own eyes.  Art means being able to bring to the surface my deepest feelings, one's way of knowing and seeing the world, the way one wants to be seen.  When I look at my work I see the intensity of the sun, the moon, the vibrant colors that surround us and the sensual happy music of my homeland."

Sacasas is a critically acclaimed artist who has exhibited her contemporary style at numerous museums, institutions and private collections throughout the world.  She has participated in New York Art Expo, Atlanta Art Expo, Miami Art Expo, Art  America, and Art Miami.  She has won numerous awards and actively exhibits her work in her own gallery, GDS Fine Art, in Coral Gables, Florida.
