Bio
Venezuelan interdisciplinary artist born into a family of women artists, notably her grandmother, renowned sculptor Lía Bermúdez, and her mother, photographer Ana María Ferris. This familial legacy has influenced her approach towards the intersection of identity, nature, and urbanity.
She earned her degree in Social Communication from Universidad Monteávila (Caracas, 2009) and furthered her education through the Professionalization Program for Emerging Artists (Node Center, Berlin, 2020) and the Contemporary Art Diploma (Universidad Metropolitana, Caracas, 2019).
Her work has been exhibited in cities such as Paris, Lima, Maracaibo, and Caracas. She has been selected for events in Venezuela including Salón Nacional de Jóvenes Artistas MACZUL (2015, 2018), Creadoras (2013), Bienal de Miniaturas Gráficas del TAGA (2013) and Salón Jóvenes Artistas con FIA (2013), where she received an Honorable Mention for her work Llamada Final.
Her artistic practice explores conceptual tensions and latent potential within complex contexts, addressing themes such as life and death, scarcity and abundance, the ephemeral versus the eternal, and the relationship between the natural and the industrial.
Artist Statement
My work emerges from my experience as an inhabitant of Venezuela, a country marked by profound political, economic, and social crises.
​
Through my artwork, I seek to explore the tensions that define human experience, particularly within this contexts of transformation and displacement.
​
In Micrombios, I depict stunned plants, devoid of leaves and fruits, with exposed, uprooted roots. These symbolic figures embody the loss of identity and the fragility of natural and social systems. Through them, I invite viewers to question our own connection to the natural world and reflect upon the cycles of destruction and regeneration.
​
In Semillas de Petróleo, I analyze the political, social, economic, and environmental impacts of oil in Venezuela. I employ contrasting materials, such as crude oil and natural pigments, to reflect upon the tensions between the industrial and the natural. This project serves as a metaphor inspired by Venezuelan intellectual Arturo Uslar Pietri, whose concept of "sowing the oil" is Venezuela's oldest and most widely cited petroleum strategy. I have developed this idea through painting, graphic arts, performance, posters in public spaces, and ceramics.
​
In Memorias Urbanas, I combine iron and waste materials collected from the city to portray the contrasts present in Latin American urban environments. This piece reflects upon the dualities of opulence and misery, wastefulness and hunger, barbarism and civilization that characterize our postmodern cities.
​
My intention is to create artworks that encourage reflection on our relationship with the environment and our own identity. Through my practice, I strive to express the complexity of life in contexts of crisis and transformation, hoping my work may help others better understand these realities.
