ARTIST STATEMENT

My process in creating art is essentially similar to writing a memoir. My round sculptures and mixed media paintings and collages represent my inner feelings. They demonstrate my interaction with the world around me - from the natural environment, to social consciousness, to everything in between. By working directly from my observations and experiences, I find inspiration everywhere.

When making art I feel completely free from any restrictions; as there are no boundaries or limitations in the media I use to express what I have to tell. So, I organically shift between media to give voice to my ideas, selecting the medium that best allows me to develop my thoughts and observations.

I love the challenge involved in capturing the essence of an object, mood, person or place with a minimalist approach. I am drawn to texture, color, and shape; as they help me to describe what I have witnessed.

CORINA.-
