Artista Elisabet Elisabet “Artista Elisabet” Gonz·lez-Barranco, a talented artist born in Germany to Spaniard immigrants, currently resides in Houston, Texas. Gifted with a bicultural identity, her diverse cultural background brings a unique perspective to Houston’s art community. Artistically talented for as long as her parents can recall, they noticed she had an immediate attraction to shapes, textures and color and encouraged her to begin drawing as a young child. Painting isn’t her only artistic expression. She is retired professional flamenco dancer who toured extensively throughout Europe before moving to the United States. Elisabet finds color absolutely invigorating and believes in the “power of color”. Matched with an exploratory spirit, her enchantment with color is reflected in her work as a contemporary fusion of an eclectic, abstract and kaleidoscopic world. She concentrates on delivering artistic expressions such as paintings, sculptures, belly castings (Elly Belly) and handicrafts on various media including canvas, wood and recycled materials.
Kind hearted and strongly believes in donating her gift to benefit others; Artista Elisabet has significantly contributed her time and artwork. She is a founding member of the Queens of Creativity through the Museum of Cultural Arts Houston (MOCAH), where she serves on the Board as Media Chair. She has a soft spot for children and her relationship with a friend’s son lead her to become heavily involved with the Down Syndrome Association of Houston (DSAH). She redesigned the DSAH logo and leads therapeutic art classes with the DSAH children and was awarded as Artist of the Year 2011. Additionally, her artwork and time has benefited: the American Heart Association, the Barbara Jordan Foundation, Hashoo Foundation, Leukemia Lymphoma Society, Periwinkle Foundation, Texas Children’s Cancer Hospital, Tahirih Justice Center, Pink Door Non-profit Organization, and a host of other fundraisers. Artista Elisabet believes there’s an artist in everyone and is always looking to inspire and empower others to discover their own creativity. She enjoys luring the inner creativity out of the participants in her art workshops and classes.
