Artist: Yelitza Diaz | Location: Mauldin, SC
Mauldin, SC
Yelitza Diaz was born in Venezuela in 1973. Later in 2013, she moved to the United States. Since a child, she is wrapped in the life of the arts. Graduated from the arts school Arturo Michelena of Valencia-Venezuela (1991-1995), she attended countless art workshops and participated in important competitions of fine arts at national and international levels, with granted awards and recognitions of her work. Also, she worked as an instructor of art, professor of Art Education and Art History, and some of her works are in important collections in Venezuela, Europe, and USA. So, she forged her way as an artist and sculptor.
Passionate about the human figure, she makes her sculptures with ceramic techniques under a minimalist style, with a clear inclination for human existentialism, generally based on political and social developments in her native country, and the world. With her work, she intended to reflect the hope and despair of the human being.
