A dreamcatcher and two branches with delicate white flowers appear suspended against an orange sky. Artist Yamilet Sempe depicts her creative process in this piece, where insomnia and dreaming while awake shape her paintings. She used oil, acrylic, and a rag from her previous works in this piece.

About the Artist
Artist Yamilet Sempe paints boldly graphic abstracts, visibly influenced by modernist aesthetics. A keen believer in the power of signs, she incorporates symbols of mysticism and spirituality in her work. Her compositions feature dramatic palettes—intentionally using orange to represent enthusiasm and positivity. "I am only an instrument of the creator," says Yamilet. Spending her formative years in Cuba and France, she immersed herself in the presence and influence of renowned artists of culture. After years of working as a veterinary nurse, it was not until her mid-forties she chose to dedicate her time to painting, her true passion. She migrated to Florida and devoted herself to her practice, working at her home studio neighboring the coast. Yamilet splits her time between the United States and Paris, allowing her shared vision of diverse cultures. Her work has been featured in esteemed exhibitions in Europe and the USA.
