Artist Statement:
Born in America in my mother's
homeland
and raised in Venezuela, the
country of my father,
I am the product of
cross-cultural
influences, experiences and
dualities
which find expression in my
work.
These paintings come from
an internal source of needs
and desires
where ideas arise between
the shadows of sequestered
memory
and the light of conscious
acknowledgment.
Within these images awaken the
dualities
of positive and negative.
These eternal principals
entangle, struggle, and merge
toward resolution.
Color and images,
laden with both verbal
association and sensual
innuendo,
are symbols infused with
feminine nuances.
While beneath the surface of
ambient innocence and vibrant
hue,
dissonance and disjunction
murmur and levitate.
Fragmentation occurs. Disarray
overflows.
Yet, within the unfolding
drama,
where fragility encounters
crudeness,
where anxiety and
vulnerability seek
transcendence,
lies the search for
integration and wholeness,
where beauty and hope strive
for Oneness....
