About the Artist

I am a mixed-media and abstract artist from Caracas, Venezuela. Raised by two artists and museum directors, I grew up surrounded by creativity, discourse, and cultural exchange. I began assisting my father, the abstract artist Alirio Oramas, in his studio at age ten. He introduced me to collage, assemblage, mixed media, and abstraction, and our days together were filled with conversations about art, philosophy, and his experiences living in Paris and Italy.
My practice is rooted in the belief that art can spark dialogue, evoke emotion, and inspire change. I use my work to explore themes of identity, culture, and social justice—inviting viewers to reflect, question, and connect.
I create collages, drawings, paintings, and textile-based works that combine found objects, old clothing, jewelry, toys, and other collected materials. I carefully arrange and transform these items—stitching, painting, gluing, and sewing—to build layered compositions full of texture, intention, and narrative. My artistic language is playful yet purposeful, using color and form to share stories and spread positivity.
My lifelong passion for sewing, crocheting, embroidery, macramé, and drawing began when I was eight, encouraged and guided by my parents. Over the years, I have continued to expand my techniques. Today, my work incorporates abstract geometry and collage approaches influenced by Kandinsky and by my father’s methods, while introducing my own perspective through textiles and affirmative messages.
In recent years, I have developed a strong body of work and am now preparing new projects, including a textile art exhibition, a video installation, and sculptural pieces.
Ultimately, my goal as an artist is to connect with others—to inspire conversation, encourage reflection, and offer space for cultural expression. My practice is in constant evolution, and I am grateful to share that ongoing journey with you.
