ABOUT ME

ALICIA

GLASS ART

"After practicing with diverse media, now I'm in the stage of creating my art with fused glass. Water has been a constant subject in my life. That is why, I try to find in the glass a resemblance with water, ice, and water creatures, merging the Florida water sites, like the Ocean and the Everglades, with the water sites of my past, the Orinoquia, the greatest concentration of rivers in the Amazon region of South America. In the themes for my contemporary glass pieces, I subtlety imply the history and the legends of the peoples that live today or inhabited in the past all these regions, especially the ones that reside closer to the water. My ambition is that the viewers can feel through my work a reflection of themselves and their inner essence. I believe that we all carry a genetic memory that, no matter nationality or upbringing, is the same. This genetic memory is exactly what is going to get the spectator to find him/her/self and to become part of the game.".
