Araceli Requena

My name is Araceli Requena. I am a Spanish artist from Belgium. I am inspired by nature. My artwork reflects sensibility, romance and perhaps a certain fragility. Portraits, flowers, animals, botanical art, illustrations, a wide range of mediums, as pastels, watercolor, oil paintings, charcoal or pencil drawings. Recently i made illustrations for my own childrens book, Kaneeltje. Theme is love and admiration for the nature that is around us and within us. Versality, creativity but above all this passion, it's a real pleasure to share this feelings with my public. My artwork has been seen in several art galleries in Belgium and the Netherlands. The paintings vrouwendromen, women and dreams are actually inspired by moods and feelings, each color stands for a feeling. The included illustrations with childrens and animals, are the relationship between the character of the kids and his/her pets. My models are mostly friends and family members.
