I am a Cuban born visual artist and writer dividing my time between N.Y.C, Miami, and Shelter Island, NY. Whether I work with soft pastels on recycled cotton rag paper (shizen paper), acrylic on canvas, iPhoneography or video, under the umbrella of ecology and spirituality, I explore liminality, animism, cosmic memory, divine feminine, and transformation. My tree stories series are abstract works inspired by trees I photograph during meditative walks and explore the idea of trees as receptacles of time; divine protectors of souls. Bark lines as cosmic hieroglyphics, a teaching to decipher. It is my hope that, through my art, I bring awareness to the climate crisis and awaken a sense of intimacy with our living planet. My artwork calls the viewer to see trees and all non-human forms as beings, sacred and necessary for the health of our planet and spirit.
