My favorite type of art to create is deeply rooted in surrealism, inspired by artists like Dalí and Leonora Carrington. I create emotionally driven work that explores psychology, symbolism, and personal experience. My art is closely connected to how I feel and what I’m going through, whether emotionally or mentally. I often explore themes like identity, womanhood in Latin America, grief, and what it means to be an immigrant in the United States.

I find inspiration in my emotions, my personal experiences, and my cultural background. I grew up in Venezuela, and my Latin identity plays a big role in my work. Moving to the United States was a turning point for me it’s when I began creating art more seriously, and it deeply influenced how I see myself and the world. Music is also a big part of my process. I use it to reconnect with specific emotions or moments I want to express in my work.

I would also use part of the funding to begin creating a small program or space for beginners in painting and sculpture. One of my long-term goals is to teach and build a studio where young people can explore art and express themselves creatively. This opportunity would support both my personal growth and my goal of creating a space that inspires others through art.
