COLLECTIONS:
Apart from significant private collections in Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia,
Hong Kong, USA, Switzerland, France and Czech Republic, Marcela has been
involved in architecture and design leading to numerous
commission works.
Marcela works in oils on linen and focuses on the beauty and repetition in
nature, freezing the moments and imprisoning, concentrating on refining and
perceiving light and dark through the 17th century techniques of opaque layering
with transparent glazing. The paintings are tapestries of colour and tonal
studies jutting out of receding dark spaces.
