artist/ SEVERINO

République Dominicaine

Born in 1962 in the Dominican Republic, Luz Severino studied at the National School of Fine Arts in Santo Domingo as well as civil engineering.
She works on canvas and handmade paper. Great technical mastery gives the strength of his unique pictorial universe. His colorful pictorial identity is very imbued with Dominican culture and society which have become his sources of inspiration. In a neo-figurative gesture, the artist seems to never finish his work. Every corner turns into an endless web.
More than a denunciation of the climate emergency in which we are evolving, Luz uses her mediums not in a dramatic manner, but rather highlights the power of trees and their infinite interaction thanks to the colors used, in particular an omnipresent white, the color of purity, enhanced by the sewn colored threads, like Ariadne’s threads.
