BECKY SORIA

Becky Soria, American, born in South America, began her artistic career in the 80’s after being studio trained in painting by South American artists, and attending the Glassell School of Art in Houston. Her background in Biology and Medicine influence the subject matter of her paintings.  Her paintings tend to be impressionistic, but abstracted images. Geometric and organic forms deliberately and accidentally coexist, where layers of paint and other materials shape and reshape the image allowing hidden intentions and meanings to appear.  Her paintings express subconscious memories of that state in which we all cross from the inorganic into the sphere of the living. Many paintings will have, at first glance, a level of abstraction, but, on further consideration, one can perceive surreal allusions and nuances combined with conceptual references; these images often suggest growth, change and mutation. She seeks to depict these ideas, not as objective realities, but rather as subjective responses to her reality tunnels. Her interest has taken her to explore her impressions of current world events, nature and women issues.
