My work explores the complexity of women’s identity through figurative painting, often blending the figure with background elements such as hair or clothing to create a dialogue between the individual and their environment. This interplay reflects how identity is shaped by culture, memory, and life experience. While portraiture has been central to my practice, I am currently expanding into “portraits of moments,” using the figure to interpret memories, atmosphere, and personal history from my Venezuelan childhood.

I draw inspiration from personal and cultural narratives, weaving symbolism, pattern, and color to evoke heritage, resilience, and emotional intensity. My process balances classical figuration with the immediacy of bold, stylized surfaces, exploring the tension between traditional representation and contemporary design. Memory, storytelling, and layered composition guide the evolution of each work, with the figure serving as a vessel for experience rather than solely a portrait subject.

Through my paintings, I invite viewers to engage with themes of self-possession, empowerment, and authenticity. By highlighting the inner and outer worlds of women, my work encourages reflection, connection, and recognition of shared strength, vulnerability, and dignity.
