About
Visual Storytelling
Adriana paints stories of the sea. The tropical paradise of her Puerto Rican childhood, with its lush mountains and sparkling beaches, ignited in her a lifelong fascination with water. Now, she captures its ever-changing nature on canvas, using vibrant acrylics and bold brushstrokes to create dreamlike underwater worlds.
A self-taught artist, she paints intuitively, capturing the essence of the ocean she loves. You might see underwater gardens blooming with unexpected life, sailboats crafted from delicate petals, or deconstructed sunsets exploding in a symphony of hues. Each piece invites you on a visual adventure, filled with wonder and playfulness.
A New Chapter Begins
As it often happens, life took Adriana on an unexpected journey. She traded the familiar warmth of the Caribbean for the bustling energy of Arlington, Virginia. This change of scenery brought new inspiration, pushing her art in exciting directions. And now, her art is evolving again, reflecting her new surroundings.
Adriana's talent has taken her art across borders. Her work has been featured in group exhibitions in Puerto Rico, New York, Miami, California, and Washington, D.C.. She's also a passionate supporter of the arts, having been an active member of the East End Art Guild in Puerto Rico and now an
artist in residence at Palette 22 in The Village at Shirlington.
Statement
The ocean is my muse. It's my confidante, and it was my childhood playground. I feel an exhilarating mix of nerves and excitement before I plunge into its depths—that's the feeling I chase onto the canvas. I paint to make sense of the world, translating memories and emotions into a vibrant, colorful language. Instinct guides me; there's no map, no charted course in my process. It's an intuitive dance, an exploration where colors lead. Like the tide, I return to this creative space, seeking solace, inspiration, and a replenishment of spirit.
