2024 was a year of transformations, losses, and new beginnings.

Home seemed to have been at the center of everything: a home was explored through art, a home was lost, and a home was built.

The year had many highlights, but I learned to also value the moments in between. I’m grateful to those who shared their light during my darkest and brightest moments, allowing me space to feel.

This year allowed me to witness the blooming of the many seeds I had carefully nurtured over the years. May 2025 be a year to continue learning, planting, and growing ✨

✉️ Lessons to carry into the next year: pursue what you love, read widely, embrace vulnerability, accept help, allow time for healing, practice self-compassion, express your feelings, take up space, let go of others’ opinions, don’t take yourself too seriously, and turn what ifs into action. Happy 2025!

Excited to share that “The Home I Never Knew” has been reimagined (for the THIRD time!) and is now exhibited at City of the Arts Wall in the lobby of 130 Queens Quay E.

I invite you to soak in Venezuela’s breathtaking landscapes—places I dream of visiting someday.

Thank you @gbcollege @designgbc @thedanielscorp for the opportunity. I am truly grateful and honoured to have the chance to keep sharing this story! ✨

I had the great honour of collaborating with a group of brilliant filmmakers students at @gbcollege @designgbc to do a short documentary about my latest project, ‘The Home I Never Knew.’

A quick story about the painting scene: When I was asked to paint live for the documentary, I quickly said yes but then got nervous as I’ve never painted in front of a crowd.

Once I started, the room fell utterly silent, and I felt like I was in a different dimension—surreal yet familiar. For the first time in a while, my mind was completely present. I was immersed in painting.

The result was the happiest-looking painting I’ve ever created, reflecting exactly how I felt then.

Thank you for your kindness through the process and for letting me be part of your film. Your talent and creativity are truly inspiring.

Congratulations to all the team for your thoughtful work on this piece: Jhulien Carino, Ruth Goodwin, Monica Hosseini, Althea Manasan, Lyv Mutton, Bryan Obright (@bryan.obright), Modupe Olusoga, Tharsikan Sivasubramanian, Sherubiga Thiyagarajah, Steve Tran (@stevetranphoto), Shi Jie Zhao, Violetta Zhihar (@viola.zhykhar) under the guidance of professor Maurizio Belli. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! 💖

I worked on this video last year to celebrate the 20th anniversary of @wicked_musical. With tiny modifications, I’m so happy to share it now that the movie @wickedmovie has come out!

Wicked entered my life at 14, opening up the world of theatre and introducing me to themes like self-acceptance, drifting friendships, and standing up for myself. I never expected this experience to change me For Good ;)

It’s heartwarming to see how this story has resonated with so many.

I look back on all the memories tied to it with gratitude and genuinely believe I wouldn’t be the person I am today without theatre and the community we built together through this and many other stories 💚
you know who you are! 🫧🧹

A special thanks to my motion graphics professor @edo_motion for introducing me to After Effects with contagious enthusiasm!

Here are a few of my favourite moments from the process of “The Home I Never Knew” for @nuitblancheto

This project brought me immense happiness from start to finish during one of the most challenging times of my life. It arrived at the perfect moment, constantly pushing me outside my comfort zone, and I enjoyed every minute!

“The Home I Never Knew” would not have been possible without the unwavering support of the wonderful people at the @designgbc and @gbcollege. Thank you always!

I want to give a special thanks to my family for unconditional support through the ups and downs of my art journey and life. They always believed in me, even when I didn’t, and I will always be thankful for that.

Trust the process. Be patient. Enjoy every moment of the journey ✨

I went into the rabbit hole 🕳️ 🐇

For the second time, I was captivated by the brilliance and generosity of many talented creatives at DesignThinkers.

I love this conference because it’s an opportunity to hear inspiring stories, meet new friends in the community and reconnect with friends I haven’t seen in a while.

Thank you @designgbc for the opportunity to experience DesignThinkers once again, and thank you to @rgdcanada for making this extraordinary event possible!

I can’t wait for next year! #RGDDT

P.S. I still can’t believe I had the incredible opportunity to meet the immensely talented @annieatkins in person and have my books signed by her! 🥹

Thank you to everyone who took the time to visit or sent encouraging messages for the opening reception of the extended exhibition “The Home I Never Knew” at the beautiful FWoL gallery at the School of Design ✨

I am deeply moved by the incredible feedback I have received about this project. It is a privilege and an honour to share this story with all of you.

A special shout-out to @_yelsis for generously sharing her expertise and being my crime partner for this exhibition. Thank you for going above and beyond to ensure the artwork and the space look as enchanting as they do.

In these photos, I am missing many amazing people who went out of their way to be there and show their support. I continue to be in awe and am immensely grateful for all the wonderful people surrounding me on this journey. Thank you, forever and always 💖

A dream come true ✨

I have no words for the amount of love I felt Saturday night. I feel so grateful to be surrounded by such a wonderful and loving community who inspire me every day.

Thank you for stopping by to see “The Home I Never Knew”, for sending encouraging messages, for sharing your reactions and for supporting this project.

I’m forever thankful to everyone who made this vision come true. There were so many people working so hard to make this possible! Thank you for your generosity, enthusiasm and dedication. I learned so much from all of you!

TWO WEEKS to @nuitblancheto🌕

“The Home I Never Knew” is an art installation that involves a series of phases, and I have enjoyed each one so much!

From brainstorming ideas on the best way to visually represent this concept, to researching the landscapes of Venezuela, talking with my dad about what he saw/felt in his travels to La Gran Sabana and Mérida, stretching canvas, painting, learning a new software, having aha! moments, planning, and testing!

I’ve been documenting and collecting the little moments that have formed this journey so far. Here’s a selection that represents most of the stages to bridge the gap between those places where I have never been in Venezuela and my new home in Toronto 🇻🇪 🇨🇦

I couldn’t have wished for a more perfect location to show this work than “The Orchid” (yes! the terrace’s name is the national flower of Venezuela! 🤯) at @designgbc

This project would not be possible without the help of an amazing team and George Brown College. I’m grateful for having support at every stage!

✨I hope to see you on October 5th from 7pm to 7am at George Brown College-School of Design (3 Lower Jarvis St)✨

✨Big announcement!✨ I am so excited to share that I will participate in this year’s @nuitblancheto ! As many of you know, this has been a dream I’ve been pursuing and working towards for many years.

This project is possible thanks to the support and generosity of @gbcollege and the guidance and help of an incredible team in the School of Design @moraisr Joseph, Gary, and Matt. I’m forever grateful for their trust and excitement about this project and for bringing it to life in the best way possible.

“The Home I Never Knew” video installation follows my most recent art exhibition. It explores the emotional connections we create with places and reflects on the idea that the only true distance is physical.

This is a dream come true, and I still can’t believe this is really happening! 💫🥹

I can’t wait to share a little piece of Venezuela with you. Join us in the never ending journey of rediscovering home on October 5 from sunset to sunrise at the Orchid balcony @designgbc 3 Lower Jarvis St

Come with me to The Home I Never Knew-Art Exhibition 🎨🇻🇪

Thank you so much to everyone who visited the show, sent messages of encouragement, and asked about the meaning of the pieces.

I feel so lucky to be able to share a little piece of my home country with you. I hope that this exhibition sparked a little curiosity about Venezuela and encouraged people to know what is currently happening there.

This story doesn’t end here, and I am excited to announce some news in the coming weeks!

“The Home I Never Knew” is now open to the public! The show will be up for the rest of the month at Toronto Public Library: Bloor/Gladstone branch (1101 Bloor Street West).

The exhibition will not have a formal opening reception, but I encourage you to visit when you have a time!

Please check the library’s hours and programming to ensure the room is available for viewing, as the gallery and the activity room share the same space.

If you’d like to visit with me, I’m offering tours where I can share more about the theme and artwork, just message me to schedule a day and time.

In light of what’s happening in Venezuela, I hope that this exhibition raises awareness of our fight against 25 years of dictatorship and encourages visitors to stay informed and share our story 🇻🇪

Venezuela is a place with unimaginable natural wonders and kind people who deserve SO much better.

UPDATE: Exhibition will run from August 3-August 28 and will be accessible based on the library programming at @torontolibrary Bloor Gladstone branch (1101 Bloor Street West)

For years, I was encouraged to incorporate Venezuela into my artwork, but it never felt right to me. After spending ten years in Canada, I finally feel ready to tell a story about Venezuela on my canvas 🇻🇪

I left without having the opportunity to visit so many amazingly beautiful places, such as Los Roques and La Gran Sabana. Travelling in Venezuela can be very dangerous, and some areas are so remote that even if it were safe, it would still be challenging to visit.

This new series of paintings explores the places in Venezuela that I haven’t seen yet but hope to visit in the future. The paintings capture the essence and emotions that these places evoke in me. They are inspired by several reference pictures, research and stories my dad shared about his travels in the early 1980s.

Stay tuned, as this is just the beginning! 😉

La exposición estará abierta desde el 3 de agosto hasta el 28 de agosto y disponible en base el programa de la biblioteca.

Durante años me han dicho que hiciera arte relacionado con Venezuela. Por alguna razón nunca sentí bien hacerlo. Después de diez años viviendo en Canadá, finalmente me siento lista para contar una historia sobre Venezuela en el lienzo 🇻🇪

Me fui sin la posibilidad de visitar tantos lugares increíblemente hermosos como Los Roques y La Gran Sabana. Viajar en Venezuela puede ser peligroso y algunos lugares son tan remotos que, aunque no fuera peligroso, sería muy difícil verlos.

Esta nueva serie de pinturas se basa en los lugares que no he visto aún, pero espero visitarlos algún día. Las pinturas capturan la esencia y las emociones que estos lugares evocan en mí y están basadas en muchas fotos de referencia, investigaciones y en historias que mi papá me contó sobre sus viajes a estos sitios a principios de los años ochenta.

‘The Home I Never Knew’ (El Hogar que Nunca Conocí) estará en la sede de la biblioteca de Toronto: Bloor/Gladstone (1101 Bloor Street West)

¡Quédate atento porque este solo es el comienzo! 😉

In honor of the 138th anniversary of the death of Emily Dickinson this Saturday, I wanted to share a video I made of one of my absolutely favourite poems by Emily.

Some thoughts about the poem: Finding beauty in the ordinary is what makes moments last forever. Forever is made of fleeting moments. Emily Dickinson’s poem is centred on our own perception of time and human experience. The poem demystifies the abstract condition of the future and shows that nows are lived
daily without time stopping. Forever does not have time. It is only experienced differently by each person.

I hope some day I have the chance to visit Emily’s home at @emilydickinson.museum 🖤

Total Eclipse 2024 🌘 For a shadow lover like me, this was an incredible day! The view from under the biggest shadow left me speechless. Seeing everything around become dark as night while the horizon stayed bright in the middle of the day was the most incredible thing I’ve seen! I couldn’t see the corona during the totality because of the clouds, but experiencing the darkness in the middle of the day was beyond my imagination. It's definitely something I’ll never forget!

I’m so happy to have experienced it with @sofiavnshanahan

It’s the beginning of 2024, and I wanted to share this project with you.

ON THE RISE is a magazine for emerging artists struggling to find real answers in the industry and genuine connections. Emerging artists make it for emerging artists!

This would be the first issue, which includes exciting art-related articles and features four emerging artists as its main article.

It was a real challenge at the beginning (the first draft looks VERY different from this last version!). Still, once I let go of some control, it became a much more enjoyable experience and one of my favourite projects!

A big plus was that I could create two paintings for the last spreads!

I am a Canadian citizen! 🇨🇦

I wish I could go back in time to when I almost gave up, so I could tell myself that everything would work out in the end. In a way, I think I did because I kept pushing and trying until the end. Still, I wish I hadn’t cried and suffered so much!

After almost a decade (in just two weeks!), I finally did it!

Venezuela, you are as present as ever in my thoughts today. I think of you through my memories of everything I lived in your lands with a passion that is hard to contain in my heart. You are the place that saw me grow and the place I want to go back to someday. You are a big part of me, always.

Canada, my new home. Thank you for opening your arms wider than I had ever wished for and for offering me so many exciting opportunities day after day, for allowing me to dream big and dare to dream even bigger. It was a challenge to finally be called Canadian, but if there is a lesson after everything, it is this one: nothing is impossible.

From far and wide 🍁 Oh, Canada!
