background and philosophy
Welcome to my art page!
I am Angelica Golindano, an artist and storyteller.
I emigrated from Venezuela at an early age. I was raised in the sweltering heat of Miami, Florida; and I was bitten by the call to adventure and Service at the turn of the millennia. After 15 years of training, travel, and technical experience as a photographer and mentor, I chucked my camoflouge to pick up pencils and paintbrush. I rediscovered my vision, my story, and my voice.
As a photographer, I learned to write with light and to sculpt with shadows. As a U.S. soldier, I was a witness. As a multidisciplinary storyteller, I wield these forces to drive my visual poetry.
My site is evolving with me, so come back to see us grow.
Artist Statement
My art process is a meditation on identity, ancestry, and material. Through art, I investigate trauma and biases. I rewire my nervous system with a focus on the beauty of family; the magic in nature; and the power of hope, love, and joy. Each layer is an opportunity for play, gratitude, and forgiveness. I untangle the roots of misogyny, cauterize wounds from systemic racism, and hunt for vestiges of colonialism in my being. Each mark is a dance into freedom. I face the death of my ego and embrace my vulnerability to allow room for inspiration and insight, wholly—Earth, Matter, and Being.
Memento Vivere!
