Hendrica Regez, aka
'Rica', is a German native now living in Galena, IL. She is
a self-taught artist, creating over 100 originals per year. Her medium is acrylics used in a technique that combines the
spontaneity of watercolors with the texture of impasto. She prefers to use
strong colors in a limited palette and many glazes. Her subjects are
taken from nature and more or less abstracted, which gives them a "less
is more", Zen like quality. Her style is uniquely her own, lying somewhere between abstract symbolism and hyper-surrealism. She has invented her own iconographic language to communicate concepts and emotions.
Her work is owned and displayed by private collectors and organizations nationwide and throughout Europe.
In addition to her 'Open Studio' events in May and November,
you can see her work at regional art fairs and at these galleries:
Hello Galena! Artist Cooperative, Galena IL
Railway Cafe, Galena IL
