Human Woman: The Female Identity Who we are | What we wear
Mujer humana: La identidad femenina Quines somos | Lo que nos ponemos Ileana Collazo | Visual Artist | Artista visual
“Human Woman: The Female Identity” Collection Statement: Soft, resilient, nurturing, strong; that is what it means to be female. This collection depicts my interpretation of the female identity; how we see ourselves, how society portrays us.
Declaración de la colección “Mujer humana: la identidad femenina”: Tiernas, flexible, benefactoras, tenaz, eso es lo que significa ser mujer. Esta colección muestra mi interpretación de la identidad femenina; cómo nos vemos, cómo nos representa la sociedad.
Artist Statement: I take photographs - sometimes of all the obvious things that we see, others of things we tend to overlook - then, I digitally mix and match them 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. Some artists stick to one subject, but I find life to be too rich in content for me to do so. I invite you to explore the full scope of my subject matter. Bio: 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 began to paint on a variety of surfaces, and then added photography and digital visual art to my artistic spectrum. My art is representative of the twists and turns we take during 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. I now reside in Miami, Florida with my artist husband Miguel Collazo, our too-cute dogs, and cats in the yard. My work has been exhibited in the England, France, Mexico, Switzerland, and the Unites States; and published in local and global magazines and online media. Declaración de artista: Tomo fotografías, a veces de todas cosas obvias, y otras de cosas que tendemos a pasar por alto; luego las mezclo y combino digitalmente para crear el trabajo final. Cuando pinto, dejo que los colores, las formas y el movimiento me guíen para expresar el lenguaje que flota dentro de mi cerebro. Algunos artistas se concentran a un tema especifico, pero yo considero que la vida es demasiado rica en contenido para limitar mi abarque artistico. Los invito a explorar el amplio espectro de mi creatividad. Bio Aprendí todo lo que necesitaba sobre crear de arte en el jardín de mi abuela cuando era niña, donde me sentaba a hacer lo que de adulta llamo meditar. Ese tranquilo lugar se convirtió en mi templo. Pasaron muchos años antes de empezar a dar a luz las creaciones concebidas en mis primeros sueños. Comencé a escribir ficción y poesía, y luego mi mente estalló en una galaxia de colores, formas y movimiento cuando comencé a pintar en una variedad de superficies, y despues agregué fotografía y arte digital a mi espectro artístico. Mi arte es representativo de los giros y vueltas que damos durante nuestra vidas diariamente, y de la asombrosa belleza que nos rodea. Mi trabajo es mi regalo para el mundo y para todos los que se enamoren de él. Nací en Cuba y he vivido en España, Nueva York, Vermont y Massachusetts. Ahora resido en Miami, Florida con mi esposo artista Miguel Collazo, nuestros perritos y gatos en el patio. Mi trabajo ha sido expuesto en Estados Unidos, Francia, Inglaterra, México, Suiza, y publicados en revistas y medios online locales y globales.
