Antonia Pretelt: Hybridizing Colombian and Floridian Iconography through Art
Over the summer, I will be conducting a creative research project that investigates my identity as a Colombian American through three large-scale mixed media paintings. My primary inspiration in creating these works is the concept of hybridity as a bridge between the natural and cultural realms. With a definition originating in biology, hybridity has historicallyContinue reading “Antonia Pretelt: Hybridizing Colombian and Floridian Iconography through Art”
