Artist Comments
Artist Yelitza Diaz combines human figures with geometric shapes to convey the core of collective human existence and unveil new horizons. Small figures stand on some of the circular elements with resolute postures and open arms. Covered with a rustic texture and enriched with modern and neutral shades of gray, Yelitza represents a powerful statement about life in its purest and most universal form. "The figures here symbolize a profound connection, both with oneself and the vast universe surrounding us," shares Yelitza. "They represent constant evolution and the unwavering capacity for adaptation that defines our existence."

About the Artist
Artist Yelitza Diaz creates sculptural modernist wall pieces where she incorporates ceramic figures. Born in Venezuela, her life has been wrapped in the arts since childhood. She finished her degree at the Arturo Michelena School of Fine Arts, where she grew passionate about the human form. Yelitza devoted her time to her artistic practice and shared her skill as an art teacher in public institutions. She founded a gallery with her husband in her hometown but moved to the United States due to bureaucratic and economic matters. Since then, she has explored human existentialism and the political and social developments of her native country. "My artwork represents the search for peace and emotional balance that we all desire in life," shares Yelitza. She retains a workspace in Venezuela but mainly works at her studio in South Carolina, where she has complete freedom to develop her art. Yelitza’s work has been awarded and recognized by national and international juries. She has also proudly designed the town seal for her native municipality in Venezuela.
