Description: This painting is called "A través de aguas claras" although you can tell the waters aren't clear, but rather have petals everywhere, and everything is lost beneath their green and blue tones. I was originally thinking of calling this painting "Petals of Me," as in "pieces of me," and some people might think that's a better title, but the one I chose, and the full phrase behind it, encapsulates what I wanted to say much better. This painting is available; if you'd like to collect it and read more about it, you can visit my website, where you'll find an entire post dedicated to its meaning and creation.
Description: In this piece, "De la letanía a los dientes", the rosary is made of teeth, and the eyelashes are replaced by petals. You know how I love to play with eyelashes; sometimes they represent my pain, sometimes what protects me.

Description: This is my most recent painting, in here I explored the somatization of my emotions, the transformation of that internal tension. I really like the end result, for this particular piece I mixed this shade of gold myself, I wanted something very specific and I think it looks fantastic.
Description: "Hora de la siesta" (Nap Time) is a painting inspired by absolute peace and security. If you know my painting "Bendecida por mil mariposas amarillas" and have read about it, you know that yellow butterflies are my favorite, and seeing them around always gives me a feeling of happiness. The yellow butterflies in this painting are like that shield against the world, like being protected in mommy's arms.
Description: For this painting I wanted to return to an idea that I had already used in sketches a few years ago, and it's cracks in the skin with flowers coming out of them. Something that keeps me motivated, especially in the darkest moments, is that I will always be able to learn something, and that nothing lasts forever. Something good can come out of everything bad, like flowers emerging between the cracks.
Description: Since Chávez won the 1998 presidential election, Venezuela has been under a socialist/communist regime. When Chávez died in 2013, the ruling party painted his eyes everywhere, around the entire country; They took Orwell's 1984 quite literally, with Big Brother always watching us even after death.
Description: Depending on how you look at it, you could say I'm burying or unearthing my heart. My intention, and the idea behind the painting in painting it, is neither. I am contemplating it in the middle of the earth, making sure that everything is fine, the roots intact and the heartbeat continuous.
