Denise Giordano � Artist Statement In the words of Stella Adler �Life beats down and crushes the soul, and art reminds you that you have one�. I attempt to construct intense personal moments masterfully created through mixed media artworks and sculptures. Wanting the viewer to imagine their own interpretation without being hindered where past and present fuse. Time and memory always play a key role. By applying abstraction, I want to amplify the astonishment of the spectator by creating compositions or settings that generate tranquil metaphors that leave traces and balances on the edge of recognition and separation. Life has come full circle, from the streets Brooklyn to Wall Street to the fervour of Houston. I have only just recently discovered the energetic art world here at my fingertips. Since I was eight the passion for art was for sure in my soul and I now get to share my visions hoping each who observe takes a little something away with them.
