This anticipated exhibition presents an entire new body of work created for her first solo exhibition at 33 Contemporary Gallery. La Flor Que Yo Esperaba reflects Rossetti’s latest exploration into an intimate journey of reflection and personal rediscovery. Derived from nature and inspired by Pablo Neruda’s poetry, these abstract works subtly invite the viewer to immerse himself/herself into an emotional ocean of visual enchantment and delight. Rossetti’s recent monochromatic works, just as Nerudas’ poetry, are charged with passion, emotion, love and humanity. They dwell in the verge of despair and peril while elevating the beauty and romance of our human nature. Rossetti’s exquisite textures and purple-toned organic forms evoke floral motifs that appear to defy gravity as they coexist within subtle areas of seemingly empty space. It is in such environment of quietness and distress that Rossetti’s visual poetry embodies the emotional charge of life’s own journeys. La Flor Que Yo Esperaba, which translates into The Flower That I Was Waiting For emerges as an exhibition charged with personal meaning, intimate passion and positive energy. Through this exhibition, Rossetti’s creative flower appears to already be here. Junto al mar en otoño, tu risa debe alzar su cascada de espuma, y en primavera, amor, quiero tu risa como la flor que yo esperaba, la flor azul, la rosa de mi patria sonora. – Pablo Neruda 33 Contemporary Gallery is a Chicago-based fine arts gallery with over seven years of continuous exhibitions.

Brigitta’s works will see these elements as they cross the huge water between the continents; elements that will inspire the artist to create some new works just days before her show opens in Chicago: a succession of paper flowers, almost like a work by Warhol, giving us a glimpse of the forthcoming change. Black and white is replaced by new colours, those of the soul. Leaves, flowers, skies and inner turmoil, all take on new, warmer shades, from lilac to pink, green to lavender, now finally breaking through. I want to do with you What spring does with the cherry trees. What emerges is domineering sensuality, kept locked up for too long. Her works become larger, attract the eye, with no vestige of shame or fear. They are aware of how much pleasure they bring. It is this very sentiment that is aroused on looking at the paintings. The artist’s eyes are hot, but still not satisfied with the explosion of colour that nature offers. The night beats in those intense eyes you have. Flowering fresh arms and a lap of rose.
