Bibiana Cervantes
“Artisacreativeprocessofpersonalresearchanddeep thought. ”
Contemporary artist, Bibiana Cervantes, born in Armero, Colombia in 1970, has been working in a wide variety of artistic disciplines for over 20 years.
Before moving to the United States, she earned a bachelor’s in journalism from the University of La Sabana in Colombia, and after re-locating to Weston, Florida a Masters’ degree in investigative reporting from FIU, Florida International University. She has also taken art and photography courses in institutions including Florida International University and the Ft. Lauderdale Museum of Art.
She was the winner of the Chili’s Margarita Madness Design Contest in 2007, and the Wendy’s T-Shirt Design Contest in 2012. Her work has exhibited in numerous galleries and museums throughout Florida including The Coral Gables Museum, Miami-Dade College’s Art Space, Valmar, Mano Gallery and MAC, Miami Art Central.
Her extensive world travels have become subjects of her photography, highlighting the themes of individuality and environment in folk culture. In stark contrast with this traditional interpretation is her interest in modern abstract photography.
In her paintings, Bibiana focuses on abstraction and realism, working with acrylics and mixed media. Her abstract art is usually in the form of collage, typically using old letters as her subject matter. Her realistic works often features women’s legs and red heels.
Cervantes explains the artistic process as being a meditative and transcendent experience that removes her from the trivialities of life into a numinous state. She fashions what she sees and feels into a means of identity hoping that others find their own identity through her work.
Bibiana recently joined Silvia Medina to serve as a Florida Liaison for Art Concept Alternative.
