VITAL ENERGY

A Raw Dialogue with the Universe...

In the Zabel Collection: Vital Energy, there is no softness, no subtlety. There are no brushes. Only the raw, unforgiving edges of knives and spatulas, tools that carve, scrape, and shape with an intensity that mirrors the artist’s inner journey. This is a collection birthed from the physical, the elemental—the visceral act of creation where every stroke, every mark, and every scrape is an echo of energy in motion.

The artist does not merely create; she channels the very pulse of life itself. With each pass of the knife, each deliberate scrape of the spatula, she surrenders to the moment, to the forces around her, letting the materials speak through her hands. There is no intention to control, only to respond—to the fluidity of energy, to the shifting current of thought and feeling that flows through her as she works. The pieces, much like the artist, are untamed, unrestrained. They are formed not by careful planning, but by an immediate, spontaneous connection to the raw power of the act of creation.

Each work in Vital Energy is alive, shifting with the energy that poured into it in that fleeting moment, and each piece reveals a different aspect of that experience. No two are the same; no two carry the same rhythm or intensity. The artist is transformed with every piece, nourished and revitalized by the process, each stroke of the knife or spatula an act of self-care, a restoration of vitality. The energy of creation fills her, shifting her own sense of being and well-being in ways words cannot fully describe.

The Vital Energy collection is not just a series of artworks; it is a living, breathing force. The surfaces are raw, textured, alive with the imprint of the artist’s hand, the sharp edges of her tools leaving marks that speak to the primal forces that shape our lives. There is an energy to each piece—unpredictable, elemental, and deeply personal—that evolves with time and with the viewer’s engagement.

For the collector who understands the power of raw expression, this is more than a collection. It is an invitation to witness the energy of creation itself, to experience the transformative force of art as it shifts from the artist’s mind to the canvas, as it grows and evolves in your space, and as it impacts your own life. To own a piece from the Zabel Collection is to embrace the raw energy that flows through both artist and art, to be a part of the ongoing process of creation.

These pieces do not merely hang on a wall. They pulse with life. They speak to the space around them, challenging it, elevating it, and transforming it. Each one carries with it the force of creation—the exact moment when energy was shaped into form.

Step into the Zabel Collection: Vital Energy—a collection that does not just occupy space, but electrifies it. Feel the power of knives and spatulas as they carve out the raw essence of being. Let the energy of the artist’s process fill the room, and allow yourself to be nourished by it. This is not just art—it is a journey, an experience, an invitation to be transformed.
