ARTIST BIO:

I am Sandra Felemovicius and I am a contemporary artist. I was born in Mexico City
in 1971. Art became my passion from a very young age, being the daughter of a prominent architect who exposed me to all different kinds of art and architecture; I became fascinated with spaces, lines, shapes and creative problem solving. I studied painting and drawing in Florence, Italy for six months. It was there where I realized I wanted to be a professional
artist. I moved to Minnesota in 1992. I got my Bachelor Degree in Fine Arts from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design in 1995. I worked as an art teacher for three years with kindergartners through six grades. I continued my studies and my growth in painting under Sally Brown. I currently have my own studio space in Northeast Minneapolis. Since 1995 I have participated in art fairs and group showings. My artwork has been commissioned by dental and medical buildings as well as residential and commercial properties.

IDEAS AND INSPIRATIONS:

I’m inspired by my culture and the outer tangible world to
create my abstractions, I may get inspired by a fragment of a rock or a wall that catches
my eye, or as simple as forms, shapes and lines that I then transfer in to my work. My process of creating a painting comes from who I am, a Jewish Mexican Artist, integrating
my past and the present cultures. Always starting with a small sketch that I later transfer in to a full scale painting, building layers of color and many thin layers of transparent paint to be able to achieve the effects that I want, so that the end result will be a combination of
light, color, forms and shapes creating balance.

ARTIST STATEMENT:

Contemporary, cultural and colorful; tension between balance and chaos, lines and
shapes creating positive and negative spaces, utilizing light and rhythm.
