Elohim; Inevitable Redemption Painting

Bianca Valencia is a Connecticut born artist specializing in fine art and illustration. Her illustrations lean towards surrealism and abstract expressionism with highly concentrated focus on the exploration of dreams, theology, and the ontology of the self. The concentration of Bianca’s paintings respond to the aesthetic energy of abstract expressionism with its active movement towards work in which the gesture of the artist’s hand or process is highly evident in the final works. Conceptually these works explore Bianca’s spiritual understanding of the world as approached through the lens of a Christian. The work is highly dictated by underlying emotions and the inescapable influence her theological studies and comprehension have on her life. Her current collection works explore the objectification of a muse in juxtaposition to theological ideas of idolization and obsession. Where is the line? How do you remove yourself from the lineage of objectification as an artist? what is appreciation of a muse in contrast? The act of painting for Bianca subversive in its nature as she often removes herself from the world days at a time in the creation process.
