The process of making art

What is my creative process? Well, is not as fancy as a lot of people think. My process starts by convincing myself that I can do it, that I am enough, that it doesn’t matter if I ruined the canvas, that I have to just have fun. And then, this battle with myself starts, the one that is trying to win over technique and just focus on expression.

Not everyday I feel like painting, but I just show up, make a mark, and see what it leads me to. Creative expression is a battle with what you already know and what you are just about to learn. Is taking a breath, take a seat and jut stare at the painting, question your every move, and letting go of control.

At the end, it doesn’t matter who wins, the only thing that matters is that you survived and you need to get ready for the next one.

Pink Moon Exhibition at Lakeland

I was part of a group exhibition called pink Moon, full of great art by amazing woman, music and spoken words and it was magical. I felt more than honored to be part of it.

Diosas - Mix Media on Canvas

My art was also feature on the publication The Ledger, and you can find the article here. It was surreal to see something I created out to the public eyes.

It was a great experience curated by Volume Art Collective and Lakeland Women Collective, honored to be part of it.
