Speaking isn’t the only form of communication. In fact, visual art can often reveal deep emotions we may find challenging to express verbally. In today’s episode, self-taught artist Arely Cardenas shares her experience as an introverted artist. She walks us through how she created a community through her art work, what inspires her to paint, and the ways her mood influences her painting (and vice versa).
Whether you consider yourself an artist or not, this episode will teach you about empowering yourself and embracing vulnerability through creative expression.
Who is Arely?
She is a first-generation Mexican-American female artist who was born and raised in San Jose, CA. Two words that describe her artwork: Vibrant and Detailed. Her paintings are influenced by my culture, all that she admires about Mother Nature and the female anatomy. Today, she is painting with a heavy focus around empowering women. Latina women particularly heavily influence the woman she is becoming. This year she wants to paint more freely and she is not only excited but curious how life will inspire her. She wants to continue creating sublime pieces that mirror pieces of our soul and evoke emotions that lie in the depths of our subconscious. More importantly, she wants passion and pride to spread like wildfire across her community.
