Patricia Farinas

“Creating” has always been a driving force in everything I do. From designing buildings and creating 3D animations during my career as an architect and now through my paintings. The creative process is a release of expression that cannot be reached in any other way for me. These paintings are the songs I can't sing, the poems I don't write, and my stories untold.

Born in the USA to Cuban parents, Patricia grew up in Brazil, and moved to the US in her teen years. She started her architecture studies at Catholic University of America in Washington DC where she was awarded the Foreign Studies Award for excellence in design. After completing her undergraduate studies in Italy, Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Russia, she went on to complete her Masters in Architecture at Georgia Tech. After over 12 years practicing architecture in small and large firms with a focus on international design, she relocated to Mexico and then Switzerland where she did freelance design work and began painting. Years later after another move, this time to Spain, her creative energy and desire to do large bold pieces led her to begin working in ink. She now paints at her home studio in Miami inspired by new painting mediums and her various international experiences and surroundings.
