Artist Comments
Inspired by Kazimir Malevich, artist Yelitza Diaz creates a modern piece using primary colors on geometric figures. She seeks to question the basic idea of minimalism, adding the human form to the composition. The subjects help each other climb the structure in a symbolic representation of man's journey. She coats the nudes in classic bronze to create a revolutionary touch.

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.
