It’s been almost 2 months since selfisolation
has been enforced worldwide,
how are you feeling?
I’m doing great! Don’t get me wrong, I
know what’s happening in the world, but
I took this surreal moment to know more
about myself — think how can I be a better
person and better at my work, to expand
my Caribbean galaxy, and connect with
people who work with different materials
that made me see beyond my self-imposed
limitations.
collectors who realized they want something to make them smile in their
house, something they love and will probably be part of their entire life.
For a newcomer like me, that’s an F! honour.
What do you wish for the future?
The end of poverty on our planet.
Where can we buy your art?
DM my Instagram @popcaribe Or send me an email caribbeanpopart@
gmail.com. But anyone can help all independent artists like me with
follows, shares, and likes!
What have you been doing to pass your
time in quarantine?
I’ve been researching and experimenting
to push the boundaries of my style:
new formats and new materials to keep
expanding the diversity of my work. I’m
also making design objects with wood and
ceramics and Glicée prints.
How has the situation affected your work?
It’s harder to get supplies but also a good
opportunity to be more creative with the
materials I have.
Do you have a day-to-day lockdown
routine?
I try to not put limits on my days now: it’s
a unique opportunity to not experience
weeks and hours as they used to be.
Have any unexpected benefits come out of
this situation for you?
Yes! The importance of ART in the space
you live in. I’ve been selling many pieces
during the lockdown to many new young
