VANESA MARTINELLI
-STATEMENT-My art is born from silence. An intimate and timeless dialogue with myself, taking the observers through a journey of self-reflection, revealing the unknowns hiding inside every one of us. Like a Sumi artist, I paint with my entire being; with my heart and the strength of a warrior. I advance over my own darkness, searching for my inner light. Expanding beyond my human condition is a "passionate act" of courage as an artist and as a human being.
-BIO-
