Fort Myers, FL – In the month of February, DAAS CO-OP Art Gallery & Gifts is showcasing “Florida Vibes” by artist Lisbeth Ascanio. The opening reception is scheduled for the evening of Friday, February 7, 2025, from 5:30pm to 9:00pm. This is a free event, and the adjacent Arts & Eats Café will be open during the same hours.
Ascanio is a multifaceted artist skilled in the realms of abstract and figurative expression. Her artistic journey began at a tender age, inspired by her elder artistic brother. By the age of seven, the artist could faithfully render portraits with meticulous precision, nurturing her innate connection with art. This profound affinity led her down the path of fashion design, where she further honed her visual acumen, seamlessly merging it with the world of couture. “My creative endeavor is rooted in the ambition to craft pieces that seamlessly coexist with their surroundings, radiating their intrinsic essence, light, and positive energy. Each stroke and hue aim to imbue the viewer with a sense of tranquility, offering respite from the complexities of our modern world.” – comments the artist, whose female face renderings and forms hold a special fascination and innate elegance, while curvature serves as the cornerstone of many of her creations. This penchant is undoubtedly influenced by her deep-seated connection to the world of fashion.
The artist’s appetite knows no bounds; the captivating realm of abstract art beckons with its beguiling dance of colors and textures. She finds herself drawn into a mesmerizing tapestry of creativity, embracing the boundless potential it offers. “My wellspring of inspiration flows from the ceaseless cadence of life, observed in the everyday world and through the rich gallery of images adorning social media and the internet. These myriad influences, when merged with my unique perspective, culminate in original, evocative artworks that are my true passion.” – concludes Ascanio.
