Artist Statement
B. 1973, Costa Rican-born American
As an artist, I draw inspiration from my diverse cultural background and personal experiences to create vibrant and captivating works of art. Born in Costa Rica and raised in the arid landscapes of the Atacama desert in Chile, my artistic journey has been shaped by the beauty and contrasts of these environments. I pursued my BFA at the University of Hartford, where I honed my technical skills and developed a deep appreciation for the power of visual storytelling.
My artistic style can be best defined by my latest collection, which focuses on wildlife set against a backdrop of gold and silver leaf. Through this collection, I explore the relationship between nature and the ethereal, merging the beauty of nature with the elegance and symbolism of precious metals. The use of gold and silver leaf not only adds a touch of opulence but also serves as a metaphor for the preciousness and fragility of the natural world.
In another collection, I delve into the vibrant street scenes of Saint Augustine. Drawing inspiration from the city's rich history and architecture, I aim to capture the unique atmosphere and timeless charm of the nation's oldest streets. Through intricate details and a careful interplay of light and shadow, I strive to evoke a sense of nostalgia and a deep connection to the past.
Currently residing in Central Florida, I find myself surrounded by a different kind of natural beauty and cultural tapestry. The dynamic landscape, diverse wildlife, and vibrant communities of this region continue to influence and enrich my artistic work. Through my art, I seek to celebrate the intricate interplay between nature, culture, and human experiences, inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and find their own connections within the pieces.
Ultimately, my goal as an artist is to create visually striking and emotionally resonant works that transcend boundaries and speak to the universal human experience. By capturing the essence of places, creatures, and moments, I hope to invite viewers into a world of wonder, curiosity, and contemplation. My art is a reflection of my journey and a testament to the power of creativity to bridge gaps, inspire dialogue, and ignite imagination.
