Sobre el Artista

Painting has always been a joyful and fulfilling part of my life, but only in the last few years I have felt that I found “my voice”. Painting has also become a more imperative mode of expression, a way to process complex emotions and “interpret” the beauty and wonder surrounding me. My best work is when I let the right part of my brain direct the strokes at the beginning and I “respond” layer by layer until the painting becomes the story that needed to be shared…sometimes troubled and messy, occasionally light and bubbly. I love the versatility of acrylics. Occasionally, I employ charcoal, textiles, paper and oil sticks to add depth and meaning to my paintings. My art has always felt very personal and, in the past, I struggled to share it. Pandemic shifted that- I realized that while art making is a selfish act, art sharing is essential, because of its universality, transcending languages, cultures, and trends.
