Latinsilver

Statement

​

    My paintings explore themes that are raw, intuitive, and deeply introspective—mapping the boundaries between inner reflection and outer experience. What began as a therapeutic practice has evolved into a visual language that documents personal growth and resilience. Inspired early by my father’s representational style and later shaped by my experiences as a single mother, my work communicates authenticity and self‑acceptance amid societal pressures.

 

    Through a unique relief technique using recycled dried paint and molding paste, I create textured surfaces that, when paired with vibrant color, invite both visual and tactile engagement. My current series investigates the fractures of mind, body, and spirit through sugar consumption, eroticism, and esotericism, reflecting on our disconnection from health, wellness, and spirituality.
