Genoveva Kelleher paints the soul as a place. Her large-scale abstract works — the SOUL series, My Soul Awakens, Interrupted Dreams — move through consciousness, emotional rupture and the natural world in a register that owes something to expressionism. Built from oil, collage and raw gesture, the paintings feel less composed than excavated, which is the most useful thing to know before you stand in front of one.
Where Her Abstraction Stops Being a Picture
Kelleher does not paint a view of something. She builds a surface until it becomes somewhere you can stand. Synergetic Atmosphere (oil on canvas, 220 × 190 cm, USD 5,500) is the clearest case and her largest available canvas: at 220 cm wide it stops reading as an object across the room and becomes weather and terrain, its shifts in density registering like a change in the air.
The same instinct holds at smaller scale. SOUL 01 (mixed media with inks on canvas, 160 × 160 cm, USD 3,500) uses a square big enough to meet a viewer at full height, the inks flowing and pooling into layered transparency with the traces of gesture and process left visible rather than tidied away.
The SOUL Series and Interrupted Dreams
Two bodies of work anchor everything. The SOUL paintings give her practice its name, and SOUL 02 (104 × 94 cm, USD 2,500) shows the method turned fully inward, presence and feeling translated into abstract marks rather than any figure. My Soul Awakens (104 × 94 cm, USD 2,500) sits beside it with a different subject: emergence, awareness moving from dormancy into presence, forms allowed to bleed and dissolve so the surface oscillates between clarity and ambiguity.
The Interrupted Dreams works take up rupture directly. A Landscape of Interrupted Dreams 01 (oil on canvas, 130 × 110 cm, USD 2,500) reads as a landscape of interior weather. Interrupted Dreams 01 (USD 2,500) is a diptych of two panels at 130 × 110 cm each, where the split format performs the interruption of the title — a single field broken across two canvases and asked to hold together anyway.
Why Do These Paintings Look Excavated?
Because the marks are built up and then partly effaced. Kelleher lays down gesture, ink and collage, then works back into the surface, so what survives carries its own history of rupture and reassembly. Meaning gathers from density and erasure rather than from image, which is why the canvases reward a slow read and give up very little at a glance.
Collage does real conceptual work in El Fin de Amar (mixed media with inks on collage, 65 × 50 cm, USD 2,750). The title translates as The End of Loving, and the fragments interrupt and dislocate while the ink pulls the surface back into continuity — the break and the repair held in the same piece.
Where to Start With Genoveva Kelleher
Available originals sit in a narrow band, USD 2,500 to USD 5,500, so the decision is about scale and register rather than budget. El Fin de Amar at 65 × 50 cm is the most intimate. The 104 × 94 cm works, SOUL 02 and My Soul Awakens, hold a wall without taking it over. SOUL 01 and Synergetic Atmosphere are the room-defining pieces, and the Interrupted Dreams canvases sit between the two.
Every price is published on the work itself. Art of NOMA is an online gallery, so the figure is there before you ask, and each painting is a unique original stretched on a wooden frame with a certificate of authenticity included.
