Artist Statement
Feelings are manifested through our body language. Our face reflects pain, love, sorrow, sadness, happiness and disappointment. Trying to hide what we feel pulls us away from our authenticity and spontaneity. Being like a child who shows congruence in actions and feelings while maintaining the maturity that adults have, will allow us to be happy and live life to the fullest.
The spiritual artistic journey that I portray in this oeuvre is my personal expression that conveys my unique artistic vision of capturing the impalpable as well as the essence of my emotional and physical experience. My expansive vision of the world and its changes radiates with a deep and vibrant understanding of human nature. The desire to evolve and transcend with profound visual narratives tending to surrealism, full of expressiveness, strong sensuality and emotion becomes my central theme.
In the development of my career as a fine artist and sculptress, I like to experiment with different technique combinations. In this particular piece, I used acrylics on canvas to create the pattern. I also worked with light materials such as urethane to create the sculptures that are placed in the middle. The combination of these two techniques allowed me to create volume, realistic effects and perspective while producing contrasts in order to generate a meaning that impacts the viewer.
