Abstract
dc:description.abstract<p>I am a <em>Guisado</em>: a savory stew. A blend of two worlds: one of Nicaragua, and the other of the United States. I am both <em>Nicaragaüense y Estadounidense</em>. As an artist, I work with painting and collage as a form of image making that carefully takes inspiration from those traditions to create a new narrative. In my work, I examine both my struggle with identity and how I came to be the person I am today. As I am both <em>Nicaragüense </em>and <em>Estadounidense</em> it is important that my paintings reflect those two worlds. </p> <p>The ingredients making up my <em>Guisado </em>are as follows: The Loss of the Mother Tongue, A Merging of Two Worlds, Nostalgia (The Longing for Wholeness), The Botched (An Other), and The Hybridity of Globalization. Combined, these ingredients are what makes my <em>Guisado</em> unique. Through the act of collaging and painting, my work takes society’s scraps of discarded material and my own personal history to create a new environment: one that celebrates my identity and creates a feeling of fulfilment for both myself and the viewer.</p>
