Self-Portrait, 2021
“Living in a world that lacks creativity is a very dull world.”
“Representation is very important to me. As a Black Dominicana, I want to see more BIPOC creatives and artists getting it, being successful, shining, and being celebrated for all of their contributions. I have always had some form of art or creative expression present growing up and naturally have a creative mind. I create from my imagination. Living in a world that lacks creativity is a very dull world. The usual mediums I work in are photography, digital art, acrylic, and some aerosol. My father is one of my biggest mentors. He’s constantly advising and mentoring me from sun up to sun down about a variety of different things, whether that be artmaking, graphic novels/manga, social activism, and finding inspiration.
Before I do anything creative, I drink one of our herbal tea blends to really get into the zone of what I’m trying to accomplish. I draw inspiration from the natural and mystical realms. I mainly focus on pointillism and I gather inspiration from nature, pollinators, sacred geometry, and symbols.”
