"Self Portrait Imperfect" is a mixed media piece that happens from a desire to step away from the norm. I looked at my portrait, picture perfect smile and it occurred to me that my life had been everything but perfect and that behind my smile there was a lot of turmoil, confusion and fear. So one night, bored of the same thing, I decided to "paint over it". Yes, that's right, paint over it. I started using dry old dry paint from old pallets, and acrylic paint, I literally threw the paint up in the air and unto the canvas, without any care, over the perfect guitar I had painted years before, but yet keeping some of its perfection. The point was to STEP AWAY FROM THE NORM and why not? Because maybe when we finally get to that point where we let it all go, accept ourselves as we are, then we conquer fear of the unknown and that's when we truly live fully.

Angie Del Riego is a multitalented artist from the Dominican Republic with the ability to combine music, art and poetry, to reflect her cultural roots and her love for humanity. Largely a self-taught talent, Angie has been called a "Renaissance Woman" for her passion about her art as well as her music. She grew up accompanying herself to sing "Boleros" (Latin American love songs.) Through the passion in the bright colors of her paintings, the character of her drawings, and the expressive emotion of her songs and writings, she tells stories of life experiences that have enriched her life as an artist, as well as a person. After living in the United States for thirty years, Angie had the opportunity to fullfill a lifetime dream of visiting Spain, her father's land. She came in August 2010 and after going through the typical hurdles of a new culture, she found what we all wish for: Love. The exact place was: Extremadura (the border with Portugal), where she fell in love with both the amazing landscape and an "Extremeño", so she is now established herself in Extremadura, Spain (Southwest Spain) where in her studio she continues to develop her many talents.
