About the Artist— Lisa Perez Moran Figueroa:

As an artist since childhood, painting with my father, I have been inspired by nature and he introduced me to abstract ideas.

My current paintings tend to lean towards an abstract expressionist style, as I am intrigued by the duality of the mind, its capability of being fluid and limited at the same time. My attraction to abstract art is the based in the freedom of letting go one’s analytical human mind.  My paintings demonstrate colors, whips of colors, brushstrokes, palette knife swipes, and various textures, my completed works are left for the observer to use their imagination in seeing something.

I find tremendous peace and freedom of mind and body when creating my works of art and hope when others observe and analyze them, they see and feel that as well.  Some of my abstract work can carry familiar images with abstract forms or a natural landscape.  I truly enjoy listening to their visual experiences as they walk me through what they see and explain it with such detail.  It is satisfying to watch how playful the mind allows itself to be when presented with obscure images.  It is a confirmation that my abstract style of painting is being understood as it was meant to be.
