Michaela Linda Sotillo's approach to fine arts
is fresh, it is new, and it works. Her paintings are displayed throughout
the works by prominent agencies, galleries, and corporations. The
extremely prolific Sotillo is always experimenting with inventive
printing techniques, and her styles are remarkably varied, indication
a duality about the artist.
Sotillo's contemporary side exhibits a concise understanding of
design, through her manipulation of contrast, line and space. Her
mature use of color and harmonious choices in composition make for
sophisticated abstracts that capture the attention of collector
and critics alike. Sotillo minimalistically chooses to sign her
contemporary works just, "LINDA". "It's in keeping
with the territory", she says, smiling.
