Yelitza Diaz

Yellow and Red Square, Original Painting

2022

Artist Comments
Using wooden modules painted in solid shades of red and yellow, artist Yelitza Diaz builds a base influenced by Kazimir Malevich. She challenges the minimalistic approach by adding the human form to the composition—a conceptual representation of man's journey of spirituality and elevation of being. The classic bronze coating of the central figure establishes 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.
