Works
Eliana Carvidón, submitted artwork
I explore the essence of human beings and their circumstances through a variety of artistic disciplines, including mixed media painting, photomontage, dance, video art, sculpture, and digital painting. The distinctive value of my art lies in its personal and expressive poetics, resulting in multilayered works that uncover complexity within simplicity. In my mixed media paintings, I work with a wide range of materials, incorporating techniques I have developed independently, such as ecoprint, which I later integrate into the artwork. For my photomontages, I blend photographs of nature (including macrophotography) with images of my paintings or my own body. At times, I also enhance these works using digital painting techniques.
