Artist: Yelitza Diaz | Location: Mauldin, SC
Mauldin, SC
Yelitza Diaz graduated in fine arts in the specialty of sculpture. Since she was a child she has participated in important national and international competitions of Fine Arts, where awards and recognitions were granted. She worked as a teacher of Art Education, Art History, and Cultural Promotion in Venezuela, her country of birth. She immigrated to the United States and continued her artistic work in South Carolina with her own gallery: Muzzarelli-Diaz-Art. Some of her works are being represented by other important galleries and are in collections in Venezuela, Europe and the United States.
Passionate about the human figure, she makes her sculptures with mixed techniques, especially ceramics; of minimalist-contemporary style, and with a clear inclination for human existentialism. With her work, she aims to reflect the hope, and the deepest thoughts of the human being.
