Yelitza Diaz

I Don't Know, Original Painting

2022

Artist Comments
Artist Yelitza Diaz builds a wall sculpture of five people sitting on a wooden block. She paints the background a distinct unvarnished beige to bring attention to the metallic figures. Yelitza plays with basic geometry and figurative form as a common element of the composition. She intends to break the canons previously proposed by minimalism without losing her personal style.

About the Artist
Born in Venezuela, Yelitza Diaz;s life has been wrapped in the arts since childhood. She founded a gallery with her husband, who is also an artist, and was successful for many years until the crime and corruption in the local government became unbearable. They now live in South Carolina, where she makes art that explores human existentialism and the political and social developments of her native country. Her sculptures are made with ceramic techniques using a minimalist contemporary style. Fun fact: Yelitza designed the town seal for her native Municipio Falc;n in Venezuela.
