Mi Gran Noche II Painting

I'm a visual artist born in Venezuela and have recently moved to Miami. My first works were made on paper using mixed media with acrylic painting, linoleum printing, and transfers. I later moved to canvas using mostly acrylic. My current work dives deep into the concept of “joie de vivre”, drawing inspiration from vintage photos taken from old family albums, Toulouse Lautrec's art, and images from 50’s and 60’s from TV and newspapers. Mostly figurative, my artwork features vivid colors and energetic brush strokes, and is influenced by a combination of expressionism and contemporary art.
