Artist Statement.
“Throughout my work, I seek to embed a vibrant and colorful dialogue between icons of history, society and politics. I create a new digital art approach to concepts of iconography, pop culture, politics and history. My work is a visual stimulator and I seek to inspire the mind and emotional system of the human being to reflect and become more aware about the new world versus old values. The tools of modern technology are my paint brushes, and with that I create my art and digital portraits. My work’s beauty and intensity offer the viewer insight into how I see the world. I gets inspiration in nature, mysticism of ancient cultures, media and society, constantly reinventing the normal perceptions and creating a new view to see our world.” — Agustina Casas Sere-Leguizamon
