Maria Carmela
Neighborhood: Sunset
_____
Carmela Cucueco's art enters her own alternate environment that parallels personal experiences and cultures. From those attributes, also stems an art style in the making. As she conceptualizes images that speak to her, so do the characters, that are both self-portraits and simply portraits. Carmela is on a journey of finding a balance of grit and softness, that best reflects her personality and non-spoken messages.
