The Yaya Hat
These images are more than portraits—they are reflections of my journey. In their gazes, I see fear transformed into strength, pain turned into wisdom, and captivity replaced by freedom. Each looks different, yet each holds the meaning of a time in my life, a chapter of growth, survival, and self-ownership. Together, they tell the story of living boldly, freely, and fully.
Heritage
“Like my palette, I carry many colors—stories, histories, strengths, and resilience layered into one identity.”
Radiance
In her gaze, I see a moment of my journey—strength rising from fear, wisdom born from pain, and freedom reclaimed from what once held me back. She is not just a portrait; she is a reminder of the power I now live in, boldly and fully
Goodbye with Power
She looks back at the past, at the experiences she no longer accepts, yet carries their weight only in the softness of her gaze. Every line, every tilt of her head speaks of resilience, of lessons learned, and strength reclaimed. There is a quiet sensuality here—intentional, unapologetic, entirely hers. This is a farewell not of sorrow, but of empowerment: leaving what no longer serves her behind with grace, claiming the present, and stepping boldly into the future.

The Vibe: Resilience & The Gaze Home
"A tribute to the journey of the wanderer. La Caminante represents the courage of every woman who has left her home to seek a new horizon, carrying her heritage in her heart and the dust of the road on her shoes. Though she walks forward, her gaze remains fixed on where she began—a reflection of my own unshakeable bond with Venezuela and my dream of return. This piece is for the brave souls who move toward the future without ever forgetting their roots."

The Hero
"For a long time, I waited for someone to rescue me. This painting represents the moment I realized that the hero I was looking for was actually me. My life changed when I stopped waiting for a savior and started wearing the mask of my own strength.
This is for every woman who has had to save herself."
