STATEMENT OF WORK

I am a sponge. I absorb everything that surrounds me. My art work channels and transforms my emotions. When I lost my parents to cancer as a young adult, I crossed the Atlantic ocean to forget, my life boat was drawing. When I became a mother to two boys, drawing was my anchor. When cancer attacked my own body, sculpture became my buoy. The act of making is vital. My art pieces make up series narrating the story of segments in my life as a woman. 

I am a mix media artist using sustainable materials only. I draw and paint with water soluble media on found papers and cardboards, I sculpt in natural clay bodies. All my art pieces, whether two or three dimensional, are symbolic representations of ideas drawn from my personal iconography.  

An expression of my experience as a woman and a mother, my subject is the feminine body. I am curentely working on a project titled ‘Female Vaisselle’, a series of ceramic sculptures and drawings where the female figure is represented as a symbolic vessel, a hollow container with human attributes. These humanized vessels explore the body as a storage for interior life experiences. Joy, pain, balance, fertility, humor and absurdity are some of the emotions repersented in ‘Female Vaisselle’.
