Yelitza Diaz

2023

About the Item

Artist Comments
Artist Yelitza Diaz creates five ceramic figures, each in diverse postures. "They evoke the joy, vitality, and grandeur in human beings," shares Yelitza. She lightly textures the wooden box frame with straight lines and a gray tone. Yelitza's signature touch of ambiguity remains in this piece, offering the viewer the freedom to reinterpret her work.


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.
