Artist Statement: I am a Brazilian Mixed Media abstract artist living in New York since 2010. Interested in the exploration of vulnerability and emotion, my process is present and responsive as I work through each piece in search of the human presence in a non-representational format. The fluidity of paint as a medium and my own personal kinetic energy enables me a more intuitive and dynamic creative process. A painting is completed when there is a relationship between movement, shape and color and I feel connected to both process and product. All images and text copyright Carin Dangot
