Maria Sarmiento
Artist Statement
As a mixed media artist my work integrates the urban and rural landscapes, creating strong conceptual connections to the communities’ history and character.
The work integrates technology disciplines to help in the development of prototypes and then into monumental pieces. My studio specializes in the fabrication and merging of mediums to include metal, light, technology, ceramic, glass, on the repurposing of materials and their transformation in works of art.
I see my work as a medium to express inner spiritual growth, through connections with common symbols of different cultures which get transformed into my own language.
