Grace Refuerzo

Grace Refuerzo creates abstract works that blend texture, movement, and atmosphere into quiet, immersive compositions. Inspired by architecture, nature, and landscapes, her paintings explore the balance between structure and spontaneity, creating spaces that feel both grounded and fluid.

Working with mixed media including acrylic, encaustic, oil, and plaster, Refuerzo approaches each piece through an intuitive process of layering, scraping, and rebuilding. Many works begin as simple sketches before evolving naturally on canvas or wood surfaces. She is especially drawn to painting on wood, where the surface allows the paint to move and settle in unexpected ways.

Soft tones, textured layers, and geometric forms appear throughout her work, creating compositions that invite viewers to slow down and look more closely. Rather than telling a fixed story, Refuerzo's paintings leave room for interpretation, emotion, and reflection.
