The Artist Statement
Ana Victoria Carrillo
 
My love for art is unimaginable. This is mainly because I have a hard time expressing myself through words. And art in the form of dance, painting and photography, has given me the opportunity to do so.  The IB Art course allowed me to improve skills on watercolor and acrylics, as well as to discover new techniques when experimenting with different media such as printmaking and oils. This has broadened my knowledge on how different materials work together and explore different surfaces, giving me opportunity to communicate my interests and passions through distinct styles.
At the beginning of the course, I struggled with the ideation process of my projects. Now, I understand that in order to communicate my interests, I need to go further with the first idea that jumps in my mind.   I am passionate about nature. I find myself intrigued by elements such as light (color), texture, and lines.
The impressionist Leonid Afremov inspired my starting point of the course. The way he uses color and creates rhythm with the palette knife is fascinating.   As I went deeper into studying color, I was strongly inspired by the Swiss artist and photographer Fabian Oefner. I then noticed that color could influence and communicate a person’s emotions. In the process of communicating my emotions through color, I found myself in a conundrum because the colors and lines were not coherent. That was when I learned that I could also communicate emotions with different line qualities and textures.
Photography has given me the privilege of seeing things from a different perspective. Through my pictures, I am able to show nature from a unique perspective.  Today, I find myself analyzing everything from an artistic perspective. This has made have a positive perspective on life and everything that surrounds me.
