About the Item
Artist Comments
Artist Yelitza Diaz presents a clay figure standing with one foot on a wooden ledge. The olive green base complements the bronze finish of the lone nude. Yelitza draws inspiration from the ability of some individuals to survive and move successfully in difficult and unfair situations. "They overcome every obstacle with enjoyment," says Yelitza. The piece represents individualism as a way of life.
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.
