With You From Afar -
Acrylics on wood panels with doble exposure in transparent film. - April 2019
This body of work comes from Venezuela, its memories, its wounds, and its resilience. Moving between abstraction and figurative, the series looks at what it means to carry an identity with you, even from afar.
Loose, expressive brushstrokes reflect the fractures in our history, while fragments of visual memory hold traces of the people, places, and symbols that shape who we are. A continuous line moves through each piece, representing the connection that distance, exile, and adversity have never been able to break.
And through it all, there is color. Not as a way to erase what we’ve lived through, but as an act of resistance, a reminder that hope is part of our story, too.
30% of the sale of each piece will be donated to Sun.Risas, a foundation currently helping children in Venezuela.
This series was presented for the first time as a solo show at Tripping Animals Brewing in April 2019.
Four pieces from the series made it to Barcelona, Spain at red03 Art Gallery for a guest artists show called Imaginarios, starting February 2nd, 2020.
