My father was an architect in Colombia. He taught me about perspective and how art has movement, which I bring to my work today. In Colombia, there is art everywhere, in homes, businesses, and on the streets. That connection to art is my catalyst.
Many have said it before. Life is art. Art is life. For me, the meaning is in every stage of my journey, my evolution as a person, and as an artist. As I move forward in life, my work follows, but not just in my interpretation of mood, but in the actual lines and direction of the work, constantly moving toward something new.
The world is full of opportunity. In my art, that means recycled materials to paint on, to work with, to shape to my vision of where we are and where I am as a person. I work with repurposed materials to create awareness around the beauty that already exists.
The art is me, I am the embodiment of my own evolution, from Colombia to Boca Raton, and back again. In every stage of my life, my art changes. Early on, my work represented my feelings at the time, which weren’t always positive. Moving forward in life, motherhood added color and vibrance to both my world and my art.
