Ivannia
Rios is 25 years old and is the youngest one
in the original group. She received her high
school diploma after completing correspondence
course, which she funded partially with her
painting sales. When the group started, Ivannia
had taken more drawing classes previously
than anyone in the group. Her paintings are
a little more sophisticated and less naive,
or primitive, than the others. As Ivannia
says" What I most like about painting
is texture. I'm looking all around to see
things to put in my pictures. I also imagine
places I want to be. A painting doesn't have
to be about the way things are, it can be
about the way we want them to be." |
