In this episode, I speak with Teresa Brutcher, a figurative-realist artist based in Spain. Teresa's work employs the use of bold colors and intricate details drawing viewers into a shared emotional journey of human fears and connections. 

Her figurative-realist paintings are showcased in galleries and museums across Spain, Portugal, Germany, and the US, offering a profound exploration of the universal human experience. As a member of Poets and Artists, Teresa Brutcher continues to enrich the art world with her unique perspective. 

We also talk about :

• The lack of formal art education and not finding support from like-minded individuals who shared her artistic vision 
• Her artistic influences, ranging from old masters like Caravaggio and Sorolla to contemporary painters like Pearlstein and Antonio Lopez, highlighting her appreciation for various art languages and approaches.
• Her ongoing series of paintings that reflect the poignant cycle of caregiving and the inevitable passing of time that shows the vulnerability and tenderness within family relationships.
• The importance of open communication, forgiveness, acceptance, and laughter in keeping a relationship healthy and vibrant, as seen in her enduring marriage of 46 years.
• The value of extracting meaning and personal growth from all experiences and how both good and bad situations can teach valuable lessons. 
•  How art serves as a medium to convey the multifaceted aspects of personality, including thoughts and feelings that are not openly share with others.
