Was 2022 a good year for you?
In terms of productivity I am very satisfied. I am a compulsive painter. I managed to create 12 medium sized pieces plus one on its way that will hopefully be ready before the end of this month. So that would make it 13. My new lucky number!
My work has also been published in two main art magazines, selected for two online exhibitions with 33 contemporary gallery, and I also had my first experience as a painting teacher which was great since the interaction with students gives me the opportunity to grow more.
Last but not least, this year I had the privilege to be included with several of my works in the Lunar Codex Project headed by Dr Samuel Peralta.
Were you included in any shows?
Two of my postcard size works were part of the Online Exhibition ‘Mujer’ curated by Didi Menendez. My painting ‘Periodt’ is part of the online show ‘Exertion’ curated by Daniel Maidman and ‘Unheard’ has been included in the online show ‘Seeking Madonna’ curated by April Carter.
Were you published in any art magazines or periodicals?
This year one of my gigantic pieces from my 2021 collection about Drag Queens impersonating feminine clichés, ‘The Barbie Doll’, was featured in the November/December Issue of Fine Art Connoisseur as part of the Today’s Masters section ‘Dressed to impress’.
One of my most recent piece “Periodt” was published in American Art Collector as part of the Show Preview curated by Daniel Maidman ‘ Extertion’
How has social media affected your daily practice?
Social media are always fun, mostly because you can have an immediate feedback. The idea of assigning a soundtrack on a specific painting to emphasize the mood of the work is also a little game that I enjoy playing. All of this despite the infamous algorithm which I hardly comprehend, so especially in the last months, it was very hard to get all the views and the engagement I expected to achieve with my posts. It’s entertaining though, so I will keep playing with it!
What are you looking forward to in 2023?
My wish list could be quite long, but to sum it up: being accepted as a finalist at international ARC Salon would be a great achievement- Also, the growing interest in my work will at some point convert in to more sales. I think 2023 is perfect for that!
