Crespo
Hi, I go by the name of Crespo and I’m a painter. I have always been creative from a young age but I am a self-taught artist. I live in Virginia Beach and I have been painting for a little over 12 years.
I began to explore the creation and reinterpretation of a new mythos surrounding issues of womanhood, motherhood, feminism, power, patriarchy, and socialization around 2012. It was then that I began a series of works that were mixed media in nature and influenced by the art of the Byzantine era, Abstraction, and ancient cave paintings.
I feel that we as a society can begin new myths and also true power stories that can impact future generations, drawing from the past but also incorporating the awareness into current works in hopes to address what are some of the imbalances and antiquated hierarchies that still exist to this day.
