About the Item

Painting Description — Little Notes I & II (pair) Acrylic on canvas, 10 x 10 x 1 inches each; sold as a pair, 2026, TG643 From the Things I Meant to Say collection. These small works feature bold, brush-like script carved into a soft sage & teal green surface, revealing the bright crimson red beneath. The intimate scale invites a closer look — little handwritten notes in a world of typed messages, permanent where texts are fleeting. Charming on a shelf, as a pair, or tucked into a gallery wall. Ready to hang. Can be hung horizontal or vertical. Perfect little gift-size pair too. Collection Description — Things I Meant to Say “Things I Meant to Say” is a collection series of text-based paintings about the words we hold onto — the ones typed and deleted, rehearsed and never spoken, felt but never sent. Each canvas begins with a foundation of deep color concealed beneath a thick, sculptural top layer. Working quickly while the paint is still wet, Guererra writes into the surface with various tools, carving fluid script that reveals the color hidden below. The writing is genuine — rhythmic, urgent, unmistakably a hand at work — yet it resists translation. In an age when our words arrive typed, uniform, and fleeting, these paintings preserve what the keyboard cannot: the gesture, intimacy, and physical memory of the handwritten mark. What remains is for the viewer to fill in — the way we all wonder about the things someone meant to say. Artist Statement Blurb "We hardly write by hand anymore. Our thoughts arrive in typed bubbles on a screen — quick, uniform, and gone in a scroll. Things I Meant to Say is my way of holding onto what we're losing. I build each painting in layers: a deep base color buried beneath a thick top coat. Then I write into the wet surface, scratching through with different tools until the color beneath comes to light. There's an urgency to it — the paint only stays workable for so long. What emerges is handwriting freed from legibility: loops and strokes that carry feeling without fixed meaning. Every painting holds words I meant to say — offered to the viewer to interpret, the way we all fill in the blanks." — Teodora Guererra Teodora Guererra’s abstract works are deeply shaped by her travels across the United States and abroad. Her time living in Arizona sparked a love for the region’s radiant landscape and arid climate, inspiring her to explore vibrant color palettes and richly layered underpainting. Later, the shifting seasons of the East Coast influenced her to develop gestural, textural techniques—most notably her signature dripping and palette knife applications. In her most recent series, Guererra continues to explore the emotional resonance of texture and color. Working in thick impasto, she creates meditative compositions that evoke nature’s quiet power. Love Letter, with its layered whites and soft undertones, captures fleeting moments and the whisper of memory, while Layered builds a grounded intensity through tonal bands of blue and grey—suggestive of seascapes or shifting skies. These works reflect her ongoing commitment to material experimentation and an intuitive response to light, movement, and atmosphere. Throughout her career, Guererra has drawn inspiration from artists such as Pat Steir, Joan Mitchell, Larry Poons, Helen Frankenthaler, and Morris Louis. She holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in Art from Southern Connecticut State University, The College of Saint Rose, and Skidmore College. Her paintings are part of numerous public and private collections across the U.S., including the Allmen Health and Wellness Center for Women in New York, SUNY Brockport, and Williams-Sonoma in San Francisco. “My work is rooted in the physical act of painting. Using palette knives, brushes and thick paint, I build dense, textured surfaces that are as much about the process as the composition. The work allows me to express what is felt rather than seen - gesture becomes language, and layers become memory. Place deeply informs my work. Living in the expansive desert landscapes of Arizona, I first began experimenting with bold color and saturated light. Later, on the East Coast, I became captivated by the atmospheric shifts of the seasons and developed a more layered, emotive approach. My recent paintings are shaped by these contrasting environments—quiet but tactile, restrained yet expressive”.
