The Girl of Colors Painting

What I feel lies at the core of my artistry is the extraordinary power to act directly on the senses and to express ideas and feelings that would otherwise be impossible to communicate in words. Shape is manipulated to capture movement, softness and fluidity within a piece, and in doing so I leave marks and textures on the surface as visible preservations of life hewn into pieces during their creation. Some marks are stark and bold against the surface, others subtle and fragile – this is something that continually fascinates me about the artistic process; the capacity to capture and immortalise any moment in time with a gentle touch. My art is a reflection of my passion, given shape and brought to life through visually aesthetic and starkly presented bronzes and colours, allowing any viewer to connect to a vast library of profound and varied sentiment with remarkable ease. My artistic background is not limited to sculptural expression; I have also worked extensively in painting and jewellery design. I learned the secrets of sculpting with Alicia Tafur, widely recognised as one of the few Latin American Masters of Art, where I grew to understand how to infuse my work with expression and energy. My sculptural style is a mixture of the traditional and the contemporary, less insistent on a theory of ideal proportions, while at the same time being strong, passionate and rich in movement. These characteristics are exposed in my collection ‘The Passion for Movement’.
