Caitlin Bielata
creates encaustic wax paintings that incorporate graphite drawings, intaglio
prints and other mixed media. Often, her paintings are buried in layers of wax,
paint and latex with fragmented cutout patterns and shapes.
“Each painting
is the result of methodical, repetitive detail as well as intuitive, improvisational
decision making,” said Bielata. “My working process, collaging and building up
layers, represents the process that goes in each of our minds as we build a
framework for dealing with the world.”
Bielata was born
in Cleveland, Ohio, and received her BFA in painting from Savannah College of
Art and Design in 2007. Her current work focuses on exploring spirituality as
an individual construction of things seen and unseen. In her paintings,
representation and abstraction coexist in indefinable spaces, creating
dreamlike landscapes.
