Bettina Lopetro Bettina Lopetro, born in Haarlem in 1965, graduated from the Slade School of Fine Art in London. The artist lives alternately in Rotterdam and London. Lopetro's oeuvre mainly consists of serigraphs. She works in the abstract style, but figuration remains a starting point for the composition; the work contains both abstract forms and figurative elements. In the creations, the primary image symbolism of ancient cultures is translated into contemporary images. These images are displayed calligraphically. The work that Lopetro made at the beginning of her career is direct and confrontational. It is a parody of contemporary forms of communication, which are restless and infinite, contain a multitude of information and seem to have no clear focus. These creations are characterized by the use of many fluorescent colors. In Lopetro's recent work, the viewer can find many references to the Aboriginal people, whom she carefully studied in Australia. The rituals of the Aborigines are adapted to modern times, without losing the symbolic value of the images. The sober, but clear use of color is typical of these recent works of art.
