About

My work explores womanhood, identity, memory and transformation through expressive female portraits, vibrant color, organic forms, and intentionally imperfect lines.

Flowers appear again and again as symbols of resilience, growth, ancestry, and the ability to bloom through change. My process is intuitive and deeply connected to emotion. I am not interested in technical perfection. I embrace irregularity, spontaneity, and the traces of the human hand, because they are part of the story.

As a Venezuelan immigrant, a woman and a mother, my work is shaped by migration, belonging, memory, and the continuous process of redefining identity. I am interested in the idea that belonging is not always attached to one place. We carry pieces of where we come from while continuously creating new roots.

Through the female figure I bring together organic and digital elements that hold the tension and coexistence between past and present, nature and technology, our emotional and physical worlds. Flowers become transformation, growth, memory, and the roots we carry with us. Geometric and digital textures become the contemporary world, and the identities we keep building as we move through it.

What I am reaching for is a moment of recognition. That someone sees herself in the figure, and embraces every part of her own story, including the imperfect, the vulnerable and the transformative ones.

Stories, emotions and connections brought to life in color.
This is my universe. This is PoLlis.
