BETHANYA ABEBE | Acrylic | 81x81 cm • 32x32 in

Like Water


Like Water reflects the fluidity of water, which takes the shape of its surroundings, much like how humans adopt the characteristics of their environment. Bethanya thoughtfully extends this concept to the framing, using canvas fabric and cotton, which she carefully sewed and stapled by hand. This tactile framing adds a layer of depth, reinforcing the themes of adaptability and transformation within the piece.

Artist’s Vision

bethanya abebe

Bethanya Abebe's work is a vivid exploration of self, memory, and emotion, shaped by both her everyday surroundings and internal reflections. Her figurative paintings capture the overlooked moments of daily life, while her abstract works delve into deeper personal realms, expressing thoughts, emotions, and the search for identity. Influenced by her childhood in Ethiopia and her experiences in the U.S., she blends bold colors, gestural forms, and intricate compositions to create a dynamic visual language. Her background in fiber arts further enriches her practice, incorporating embroidery and fabric to add depth and texture. Through an intuitive yet deliberate process, Bethanya transforms raw sketches into layered narratives, inviting viewers to connect with the beauty and complexity of human experience.
