 | Rosana Ibarrola
Rosana Ibarrola is an Argentine artist living and working in Manchester. She grew up in Misiones, a province in the North of Argentina, bordering on Paraguay and Brazil. At the University of Buenos Aires she studied for a degree in Graphic Design. Since then she has worked in Design and Advertising in Buenos Aires and more latterly in England.
Whilst her background is in Graphic Design, art has always been her passion and it became her fulltime job some five years ago. Rosana’s work is almost entirely figurative, as she is fascinated by the human form and its infinite variation.
“I believe in beauty and harmony. My work is inspired mainly by the female form, the seductive shapes, the fragility and the strength I find in femininity. I feel the human figure is the most challenging and fulfilling subject in art.
I greatly admire the old Masters, my list of influences goes from the Renaissance artists to the 21st Century modernists. During my classical training in University I was told artists needed the right balance between talent, skills and discipline."
Her work is based on life sessions, which gives to her paintings a fresh and spontaneous feeling, full of emotion, with a bold and bright palette. In her portraits she tries to capture the characters and moods of the models, so that one can feel some of their inner stories, as well as see their beautiful bodies. Rosana’s images capture the soul of heroines, everyday women who find strength in their femininity.
