Opening Reception: The Art of Iria DeValles-Vieira
An opening reception for Iria DeValles-Vieira’s solo exhibition will take place on Saturday, April 25 from 5-8pm in the Frederick Douglass Gallery at Gallery X.
Iria’s work is a celebration of color, emotion, and lived experience expressed through acrylic paintings and mixed media collage. Moving fluidly between abstract, figurative abstraction, seascapes, and landscapes, she creates layered compositions that reflect both inner moods and the beauty of the world. Vivid, bright colors are central to her visual language – they carry energy, memory, and feeling across each canvas.
This body of work invites viewers to experience joy, reflection, and movement – to step into a space where color speaks, and abstraction becomes deeply personal.
