Contrary to current feminists, it doesnt bother me to be classified
as a "woman artist, with womens issues" because I am a female
artist with female issues. The mood of my art work is sometimes violent and
often sad, dealing with my associations of family, religion, and identity.
I also believe that, whether directly or indirectly, my art
work explores other realities. My greatest challenge is not necessarily to
make art about being a Latin woman, as this will always be an intrinsic quality
in it, but rather, to make art about being human, trying to find a universal
language.
These are the things that I would like to give to art, in exchange for the
voice
it gave me.
