TRAILHEAD - TABATHA LUCIA

Artist Statement:

Trailhead is a series that reconnects with the five elements and the objects of our predecessors.

Humans are elemental and through these elements we begin to understand our

place on earth. The deeper I explore ancient art objects, the more this idea expands within

me.

My work is deeply driven by my roots in Puerto Rico, Colombia, and the East Coast of America.

These paintings are a means for relating, exploring, and interpreting my many pasts and

creating my many futures. In my most recent work, I’m interested in the mystical worlds these

Pre-Columbian art forms come from and how they manifest and interact in the contemporary

world. The depictions I use are ancient/historical figures but their context is always rooted in the present.
