The Tao of Turtle

A Painting by Elvira Gómez Aletta

Opening Reception: July 14th

The Tao of Turtle is a meditation in watercolor — a quiet journey through an imagined “turtle jungle” of layered greens, both lush and abstract. At the center of the painting is a lone turtle, making its deliberate passage between land and water, each footstep a lesson in presence.

This piece is not just about a turtle, but about what the turtle represents: patience, persistence, and harmony with the rhythms of the natural world. Inspired by Taoist philosophy, the turtle becomes a symbol of the Tao itself — moving slowly, but always moving forward; vulnerable, yet protected; ancient, yet alive in every moment.

The greens in the piece merge and separate like thoughts, emotions, and memories — at once tangled and tranquil. The water flows but does not rush. The earth is firm but not rigid. The turtle navigates both with grace, reminding us that the journey is not a race, but a practice in balance.

The Tao of Turtle invites the viewer to slow down, breathe, and notice. There is no need to conquer the jungle — only to move through it, one sure and steady step at a time.

About My Gallery

I believe art has the power to inspire, challenge, and connect.

Elvira Aletta believes that art is more than decoration; it is a vital and dynamic form of interpersonal communication. To her, creating art is an invitation to conversation — a visual language that transcends words and speaks directly to the heart, the intellect, and the imagination. Each brushstroke, line, or digital gesture represents a thought offered up to the viewer, a gesture of connection across time and space.

In her work, Elvira provides a platform for her voice — the voice of a contemporary artist unafraid to question, explore, and evolve. She views the creative process as a practice of pushing personal boundaries, of provoking herself to think deeply and reflect honestly. This journey of self-inquiry often leads her into unexpected territories, where vulnerability and curiosity become the most powerful tools in her studio.

Whether she is working in watercolor, ink on paper, or digital sketch formats, Elvira chooses each piece with intention — not only for its aesthetic qualities but for the emotional and narrative resonance it holds. Her work often captures fleeting moments, quiet strength, and the beauty of being fully present. Through layers of texture, movement, and color, she explores themes of resilience, identity, and transformation.

The result is a body of work that invites engagement. It doesn’t demand answers but encourages introspection and wonder. Elvira hopes viewers will step into her world, explore the layered stories within each piece, and discover connections that are uniquely personal. Perhaps a line will echo a memory, a color will stir a feeling, or a composition will mirror something unspoken within. Whatever the response, it’s the beginning of a meaningful dialogue — and that, she believes, is the true power of art.

Elvira Aletta believes that art is more than decoration; it is a vital and dynamic form of interpersonal communication — a visual language that bridges the artist, the viewer, and the shared human experience. To her, each painting is an invitation to dialogue, a moment of connection that transcends words and speaks directly to the heart, intellect, and imagination. Her creative process is one of deep reflection and risk-taking, a way of provoking herself to think, to question, and to remain open to the unknown. Whether working in watercolor, ink on paper, or digital sketch formats, Elvira chooses her medium with care, letting the subject and emotion guide the tools. Her compositions often explore themes of quiet strength, fleeting beauty, and personal transformation, all while honoring the stillness and nuance of everyday moments. Through layers of color and line, she seeks to make the invisible visible — to give shape to the inner landscape of thought and feeling.
