Deep Space Collection Catalog
Ileana Collazo Visual Artist
Artist Statement: “I take photographs - sometimes of all the obvious things that we all see, and others of things we tend to overlook - like items tossed roadside, a section of what I initially see in the frame... - then, I digitally mix and match the images to create the finished work. When I paint, I allow colors, shapes, and movement to guide me to express the language that floats inside my brain.” About the Artist: “I learned all I needed to about creating art as a young girl in my grandmother's garden - where I sat doing what as an adult I call meditating. That quiet spot became my temple. Many years passed before I began to birth the creations conceived in my early daydreams. I started to write fiction and poetry, and then my mind exploded into a galaxy of colors, shapes, and movement as I started to paint on a variety of surfaces, digitally, and then added photography and digital visual art to my artistic spectrum. My art is representative of the twists and turns we take in the course of our daily lives, and of the awe-inspiring beauty that surrounds us. My work is my gift to the world, and to everyone who falls in love with it. I was born in Cuba, and have lived in Spain, New York, Vermont, and Massachusetts.” Her work has exhibited at: Art Concept Fair in Miami, Florida, during Art Basel Miami Week | Art Palm Beach in West Palm Beach, Florida | Art Santa Fe in Santa Fe, New Mexico | Boston Fine Art Show in Boston, Massachusetts | Spectrum Art Fair in Miami, Florida during Art Basel Miami Week. Represented by galleries in Florida, New England, and México. Awarded three Public Art Grants by the City of Miami, selected by a jury for inclusion in several major philanthropic events, and featured in numerous publications.
Collection’s Statement: “Even though since I was a young child I was fascinated by outer space and all the mysteries it holds. I do not consider space the final frontier, but rather the place in which we live while traveling at a dumbfounding speed headed nowhere. Most of us unaware that we are the universe; stardust made up of all the elements that make up all those things we are so in awe of.�
