Greatly inspired by the 1980’s/90’s, and having an affinity for art deco, surrealism, and early music video/fashion culture, Teresa Kudarauskas uses color, shapes, textures, figures and patterns to create "MTV era" canvas worlds. Her strokes and marks are clean, bold, precise and organized.

Her sensual, sentimental and personal attraction to that era is revealed through her use of color, shapes, textures and patterns crafted into vivid worlds of abstraction—often stroked by the ideas of reality.
