Artist Statement
This sculptural painting is inspired by "Milagros." These charms are traditionally linked with a specific prayer and originated in Mexico. These are my Milagros. This specific miracle is an allegory of the joy that comes with peace beyond understanding.
My paintings are inspired by biblical concepts seen through a lens of allegory in a pop-surrealist style. I seek to create connection through the presentation of the human figure and propose intrigue through the costumes my figures wear, the flowers they are surrounded by, and the settings they exist in or outside of.
