THUR. OCT. 15 10:00AM EST - Artist Evita Tezeno shares her colorful collages with a cubism influence in a live studio tour. Her bold use of color, texture, and shapes is at the core of her work. Inspired by her personal experiences and images from her childhood, Evita translates these memories through mixed media by combining handmade papers, acrylic paints, and found objects.
Evita Tezeno is a collage artist who spends about 12-hours a day, 6-days a week inside her Dallas art studio working on her latest project; a 19-piece collection of collages inspired by the pandemic. Each piece features the same character, depicted with different aspects of living in a pandemic. "I chose a Black woman to represent that," Tezeno said. "It's very personal. It's very personal. I had an artist friend that perished because of COVID." This week the United States surpassed 200,000 deaths due to COVID-19."The figures are so overwhelming," Tezeno said. "So many people are dying and time is running out."
