This opportunity gave me new ways of installing and exhibiting my work. What was it like exhibiting at the airport compared to where you usually display your work? Since then, I learned the practicality of using modular imagery in my compositions. Luckily, everything fit in the right place, and I created a composition that successfully filled out the whole case. The layout was finalized during the installation process. My solution was to combine several finished pieces that had a similar narration. I had not one single art piece in my studio to fit this whole space, and little time to create a new one. It was a very challenging art piece and I felt overwhelmed by the dimensions of Terminal E’s oversized glass case. The installation that I did for the airport is called Baroque Landscape. What did you exhibit at the airport and what inspired this particular body of work? I use various processes and mediums such as paint, glitter, cardboard, fabric, cut paper and ink and like to blend magical symbols with Western rationality, transcending timelines and national boundaries. With this compendium of aesthetics, my art can transcend timelines and national boundaries. My imagination developed an otherworldliness of constructed creatures – plant forms that have determined my visual identity. Nature and her mythical dream imagery has also played a huge part in my iconography and through my experiences of living in the Amazon. Afterward I spent some years in Mexico studying Aztec mythology. My earliest influences came from my experience teaching in an Afro Caribbean community called Borbures within my country, Venezuela, where I learned about the influence of African culture in my country. This can be seen by my use and reference of symbols and mythologies from ancient times. My work has been nourished and influenced by Judeo Christian religious culture melded with the Latino history of my background.
