La Uva Artist Statement

It all begins with decay then growth. I walk the path of black obsidian mirror. Black is the color of my desire, a promise that I will know something I did not know before. Obsidian is found in the fountains of condensed energy. My spirituality, at times, can be unapologetic. Having a love-hate relationship with my ancestors guides me to answer the questions of the everyday norm. What am I doing here? What is all this about? What is this inner voice? Is it something we are born with or does it develop over time?  

I am a multi disciplinary artist. I love painting, printmaking and film photography. In the world of artmaking I tend to retain more information with a ‘play’ mindset. The art studio is a laboratory where I can explore different techniques, material, and media that are seen as traditional and non-traditional methods.
