In my painting I overlap the figurative with geometric shapes to create landscapes that narrate stories from the present in contemporary culture. I am indexing the geometric shapes that appears in pre-Columbian art but also mirror the geometric abstraction from modern art. I am using the representation form of the female portrait to emphasize cultural identity through gender, race, and survivance; to open a conversation in the contemporary diaspora.Try it!
