About Art Gallery Reigate Ximena Betancour

Ximena's Semi-abstract and contemporary interpretations of landscapes, vibrant and distinctive mixed media paintings on gesso canvas demonstrate a strong emotional connection with her subject. Her unique technique of weaving of paint, light, colour and mood onto textured surfaces result in a highly personal and often thought-provoking interpretation of special paces or times. Her subject is mainly landscapes, Isles and coasts around England and places around the world, whose career has spun over 25 years.​ 

​

Ximena born in Concepcion, Chile and she moved to Rapa Nui-Easter Island where she trained two years full time art at local Gallery with a Chilean Artist, in Rapa Nui Easter Island, Chile, inspired by the famous paintings "When will you marry?" and Maternity by Paul Gauguin.
