Pulchella Hosts Internationally Acclaimed Artist in Solo Show

 Pulchella Winery is proud to present the creative genius of eclectic artist Chía Ortegón and her solo art show, The Currency of Love.  This collection of artwork takes the viewer through a radiant pictorial narrative leading to what, in 2015, has become “The Currency of Love Movement.”
The opening reception of The Currency of Love Solo Art Show will be held at Pulchella Winery on Saturday, November 14.  The exhibition will be on view through January 29, 2016 and is free and open to the public on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 5-10 p.m. at Pulchella Winery.
The art show narrative has around 57 artworks, including original paintings and original mix media, as well as limited editions of fine art photographic reproductions and Gicleés.  Each limited edition reproduction is numbered and originally signed by the artist.  Furthermore, many of them are embellished by hand.
The imagery of The Currency of Love ranges from a charcoal, portraying the torso of a nude man, to a realistic flower to an intricate sacred geometry being.  From there, the show continues to the scene of lovers kissing and an ethereal female floating in water.
Chía Ortegón creates her eclectic pictorial narratives with transparent veils of colors, building the image from within.  However, she also likes bold and textured brush strokes.
“It all depends what is the alchemical process of the moment and which avatar is rendering her artwork,” said Artist Chía Ortegón.
Her mentor in Florence, Italy considered her a master colorist; her colors are pure, vibrant and brilliant!  Most recently, she is poetically called “The light lyricist.”
Conceptually, this representational art show aims to express the philosophy behind The Currency of Love Movement; it is an inspirational approach to what Chía Ortegón calls multi-dimensional wealth.  Her art is a catalyst for the emergence of a new human-being-ecosystem, which is here to play a larger co-creative “game” where everybody can be rich!
“This ‘new-love-currency,’ in combination with conventional money, has the potential of making all of us multi-dimensionally wealthy!  The only energy that is needed is love!” Chía said.  “It sounds cliché until you understand that trading your goods, services, talents, art, fashion, healing, ideas, information and much, much more is truly a matter of love!  True wealth encompasses all the aspects about being a multi-dimensional human because, in truth, we are multi-dimensional beings.  Therefore, triumphant success comes from the infinite forms and expressions of love.”
Chía Ortegón was born in Bogotá, Colombia and grew up surrounded by arts and culture.  She has been a successful international creative director for ad agencies and traded in her corporate life to focus on art.  Chía has shown her work extensively throughout the world.
“We are proud to host the art of a female visual artist that is bringing forward such a community-oriented artist statement!” said Co-owner Megan Lemley.  “Join us!”
