Hello and welcome to my website!

I am excited to present my art gallery. Here, you will find a variety of art prints with a broad color palette. I am also thrilled to announce that I’ll soon be launching a blog that will report on museums, art galleries and art events from around the world that I have both explored and learned about. Expect to be blown away by some of my discoveries. I have also created a section, “Tips”, where I will share advice on art practices and share lessons from my experience in the art world. Last but not least, kids will be able to browse through and shop for art in the “Art for kids” gallery.

I hope to hear from you. Leave me your comments or questions.

EXPLORING DUAL IDENTITIES

I am Brigitte Aflalo-Calderon.

It is through my art that I explore my dual identities between Morocco, my native country, and the USA, my country of adoption. Within this space, I have created a personal universe where both cultures interweave and speak for me.

I began my artistic journey dying fabrics with vegetal pigments. I then transitioned to abstract compositions working on canvas and paper with acrylic paints. In recent years, I have embraced the art of collage with a passion. I love the physical work of tearing apart, cutting, pasting, attaching, un-attaching, over and over again.

In collage nothing is out of bounds. I can use anything from discolored packs of cigarettes, pieces of old lace, family albums or fragments from my own artworks to memorabilia from my travels around the world. Invariably, something unexpected where the real and unreal join, comes to life.

I am continuously experimenting with new materials and tools, such as the digital medium. I feel that manipulating my work digitally enhances its vitality and depth.

As you will notice, a constant in my work is colors, an abundance of them. A tribute to my Moroccan roots.
