Marcela Ramirez-Aza

My works access what can be called introspective territories described through color and abstract narrative. They are the emotional paths traveled, the fragmented areas of experience, which for me translate into fertile lands for creation.

Working, I become an observer, an Object/subject, who interprets my sensitivity in images and with an inner look I tell my story.
