BIOGRAPHY
Dania
Sierra was born in Havana Cuba and at the age of
four moved to the United States. After living in
the states for some time Ms. Sierra started to
refine her artistic techniques with classes at
Barry College, Florida Career Institute and the
University of Miami, but states that she is
primarily more of a self-taught artist. She has
run her own professional graphic design company
for over 15 years.
Ms.
Sierra has been featured in several galleries
and the Latin American Art Museum in Miami
Florida.
Ms.
Sierra was also the recipient of a Fine Arts
scholarship to the University of Miami at an
early age of her career; she also received a
grant to study commercial art and design at The
Florida Career Institute, in Miami Florida. Ms.
Sierra was commissioned by Carnival Cruise Lines
to create a kinetic sculpture for its Crystal
Palace Hotel and Casino in Nassau Bahamas.
ARTIST
STATEMENT
Through
the use of rich colors and textures, I’ve
created my own personal vocabulary in a visual
form. Expressing this through forms and entities
allows me to tap into my own spiritual world and
fragile emotions that travel through
individuals.
My
images depict a journey of unspoken words and
hidden whispers of pain, hope, freedom,
nurturing and immortality that exist within all
of us. These feelings are resurfaced and
unveiled through images of birds, amorphous
figures, and abstract surroundings placing the
viewer in the magical mystical world of
unconscious thought.
The
joy of a painter is to establish a deep sense of
communication with each individual person. The
emotion that a person feels upon examining a
piece of art, whether it’s a feeling of
sadness, joy, self-reflection, or serenity is
the beauty of this communication. This is the
transition that places the final brush stroke on
the artist canvas. Therefore one canvas
represents the window to millions of different
emotions, that have existed and exist through
all of us. Also giving the viewer a powerful
tool to look within his own spiritual world for
the understanding of life’s universal journey.

Door Styles from around the

Perhaps more than any other design
element, a door tells the story of a structure's past
and present. Entryways can be welcoming or
forbidding, rustic or formal, and frequently express
essential features of the culture that has created them,
the people they enclose, and even the natural
environment they keep at bay. |
