Opening Reception for Art Exhibit by Gabriella Moliné

Los Angeles – On Wednesday, October 26 th, 2005 , the German Consulate General held the opening reception for the art exhibition entitled “Attractions” by German artist Gabriella Moliné. Deputy Consul General Norbert Kuerstgens welcomed about 130 guests to the exhibit which will be on view to the public until January 10 th, 2006.

Gabriella Moliné studied event marketing at Frankfurt University and performing arts in Los Angeles , New York and Hamburg . As a musical performer she appeared in numerous TV-shows, musicals and hosted international events. She is also the author of two best-selling cook books in Germany . After relocating to Los Angeles , Ms. Moliné developed her true passion – the visual arts. It began with a series of collages and acrylic paintings entitled “Human Revolution”. The combination of selected passages from the major writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Gabriella’s contemporary interpretations and her vision for a humanistic way of life meld the past, present and future into one. This work was shown in a solo exhibition at the World Peace Cultural Center in Los Angeles this year.

The artist’s comments to her latest work on display at the German Consulate: “The basis of my work is the “Law of Attraction”. Whatever we put our attention on will expand. We are magnets, attracting to ourselves whatever we are thinking and feeling. I am focused on happiness, hope and the inexhaustible beauty of life. Pure joy is the fundamental component that I wish to reflect in my paintings. I believe that when we give thought to something, we invite it into our personal and artistic experience. I want my work to serve as a daily inspiration to remind us to dream.”
