In a stylistic amalgam of Pop and folk, abstract and figurative, I take inspirations from an alternative upbringing where I closely connected with the natural landscape around me. Born and raised in Cuba shaped my perspective on nature and how humans interact with land, animals and each other. I employ a Figurative-Naïve Folk-Art style to explore questions of identity, love, relationship and environment in our society. My paintings often have strong autobiographical elements and mixed realism with fantasy. I make personal women’s experiences serious subjects for art, but because of their intense emotional content, my paintings transcend boundaries by their powerful and intimate narratives. Greatly influenced by modern masters from Cezanne, Henri Matisse to Frida Kahlo
