Description
Curious to understand my fascination with and attraction to certain individuals who live and work
in urban, often economically disadvantaged environments, my thesis exhibition explores properties of paint
and image to develop a personal and compelling visual vocabulary that communicates as well as celebrates
the strength, power, confidence and swag of these individuals. This work investigates the "face" people
front in public in order to survive their situations. Representing individuals within my own community in
Miami, these portraits help me come to terms with the way I too have adopted and performed identities of
survival. Additionally, I want this work to make visual record of these compelling individuals rarely
acknowledged within the history of art.
