Cuban American artist Yolanda Sánchez brings her nature-inspired vision to this springtime exhibition at the Museum of Art – DeLand. Her colorful, flowing textiles created in the traditional Korean Bojagi style are displayed alongside her vibrant, floral inspired paintings.
Nature, in a very broad sense, is Sánchez’s source of inspiration. In a non-intellectual way, she translates and projects thoughts, emotions and sensations into a moment of meeting – working with light, color and mark and the materiality of the paint itself. She holds a space for the viewer – to enter, to be there, to have a moment of contemplation, and to finish the work, as it were. Subject and object are dissolved and replaced by a presence – a “presence without form.” There is no story to be told, just simply a desire to awaken.
