Sobre el Artista

As a New Yorker residence, art to me has been a vital part of my life. Even as a young child of three years old, I was introduced to art while watching my mom an amateur artist who worked in mostly pencil and charcoal drawings. After that introduction, I was presented with my very own drawing book and a bunch of crayons. Somehow I would manage to get into mom’s arsenals of supplies and retrieved one of those fine pencils. It was truly love at first sight. Years later, I studied at Marymount Manhattan College and The Art Student League. I was like a sponge and was willing to try new experiences; I had a passion for horses. I was so serious about it, that went to a school in the evenings to learn to care and train them. My first meeting with a horse was was incredible, but I very scared at first. Can you imagine a city girl whose never seen a real horse other than in a book is actually in a stall with one?? Yeah!! I got over the fear, and soon it became my first love. I landed a job at the New York Racing Association as a groom, boy it was great to know that I had my very own horse anatomy class up close. I had the opportunity to feel the way muscles are shaped, their symmetry of contour, the horse’s personality and kinetics. At the time that I worked there, I received some commissions for horse paintings from owners and jockeys. As the horse period was ending I felt for the need to experience my full potential to use my skills in doing murals and soon after landed a job work for a prominent antique fine furnishing store. Their art department specialized on customized services to clients and business such as Disney, Brooks Brothers, ESPN sports, Gant. There is where I got the most experience and met interesting people. My current works are paintings of oils and acrylics. The choice of using fabrics patterns fascinated me by their delicate shimmer when the light hits it. Through the use of color and textures, I wanted to express that place for a peaceful time where you can visually visit and reflect. Most all of my paintings I have done are all unique. The most intriguing one, titled Flortilia is a painting, that somewhat painted itself I was guided by it’s need to come alive. It expresses the full bloom of early spring blossom. The rich colors and shapes breaths the sensuality of femininity. Seemingly, expresses of celebration of womanhood in full bloom. Along the way, I hope to entice and indulge you to see the mixture of culture, a utopian dream and the passionate rhythms of color and textures transform.
