About Patricia

My art is full of stories born from my memories, my everyday life, and its struggles, and most importantly my need to be an inventor of my own universe. My influences are many. Film, literature, music, the natural world, -as well as ancient and contemporary art in all corners of the world.
I love the things art is made from. Paper, sumi ink, pigments, glue…From them I see an endless conversation waiting to be brought to life.

Birds

Birds have always held a poetic and mysterious fascination in my life and work. They are often accompanying my figures in their everyday life, as well as in their dream/spirit lives and now morphing into more human than bird beings.
