Y después de todo,
ahi estas tú,
brillando con toda tu luz
a los pies del océano,
la brisa del mar acariciándote,
y la neblina
haciéndote lucir más bella que nunca.
y después de todo,
ahí estas tu,
frágil pero fuerte.

I wish I could live by the beach and be able to admire sunrises or sunsets from there more often, if you follow me on instagram you must know by now how much I share my love for these two phenomenons and how I like to light up neons at the beach too. Recently I went to Rockaway to photograph my newest neon rose called “Sunrise rose”, in that piece I talk about the ability to rise and become better, to grow and learn at the same time, to come from a lower place in your life to a higher position and more. Sun did not disappointed me, it looked so beautiful and a bit unusual to be honest, I will share the neon rose photo soon but in the meantime here’s this image.
Until next time,
Teresa.
Hi, I’m again so happy to share my most recent neon artwork with all of you.
All the elements came together in such a magical way for me yesterday at Rockaway Beach, here in New York; my vision came to life exactly the way I wanted it, although is really hard to photograph neon lights and I don’t own a prime lens but i’m satisfied with the results because I got that 1 shot I was looking for. If you follow my work you know I play with roses at the beach all the time and that is my main inspiration for this, I have a deep respect for the ocean for many reasons and I believe light and water are besties in my world.
Thanks for reading me, please enjoy life as much as you can and I hope you get to enjoy my work as well.
Light & Love,
Teresa.

By the ocean is when I feel the presence of the absent the most, “ I FEEL YOU” is a work that expresses my thoughts and reflexions about the absence and the presence of the people we love that is no longer physically around us but we feel connected to them, there is irony in the concept; “I FEEL YOU” is a message I send to the most amazing natural things that Mother Earth gives us, the ocean, the sun, wildlife, flowers, rocks, trees, etc.
I’m so thrilled to share with you this light work i’ve created to celebrate the presence and the absence of a soul or a place we feel connected to.
“I Feel you” is my message to those i love the most, is a love letter to the ocean and nature and is the way I honor “your presence” and live “your absence”.
On October 4th of 2010 I lost my father due to sudden heart and respiratory problems, it was a surprise and I was devastated, my dad was gone. He would’ve been 71 years old today on June 11th 2020, Its been 10 years since he is not physically with me but he is present in my heart. This piece I dedicate to him!
Light & love for you always,
Teresa.
Hey friends, i just posted on my shop a new LENTICULAR POSTCARD for you! It’s such a cool piece of art , measures 5X7, this postcard is from an art installation that I photographed in March at Laguna Beach in California, the name of the neon sculpture/artwork is “Neon Rose (This is how I say I love you)”. Some of us believe that giving a flower, rose, carnation, sunflower, plants, etc, to someone means that you like/care/love that person, this artwork represents me offering a rose to the ocean, the sun, nature and also to the presence of the people I love and miss the most so i decided to put it on a postcard. Get one and write a message on the back of it to someone you love or you haven’t seen in a while, you will make them feel loved, let’s make this happen and spread the love together, with my work and with your words.
The other day I thought about how beautiful was to watch this art installation/performance by Icelandic Artist Ragnar Kjartansson, this 9 channel installation is called "The Visitors" the lyrics are from a poem called "Feminine Ways" by Ásdís Sif Gunnarsdóttir. I’m sharing this video I found on you tube today because I got to see the whole video again and I payed attention to the lyrics on the poem and it was so enlightening!
I was lucky to see this show for the first time at “The Broad” in Los Angeles in 2019 and later on the Dallas Museum of Art in November of the same year, is so wonderful, please take a look at it, I hope you like it, the artist himself appears in the video next to some of his friends which are playing an instrument in a different room at the same house somewhere in Upstate New York, at some point they all get together but they keep playing and singing, is so wonderful.
Here is the poem:
(Which by the way reminded me of how I feel when i’m taking photos of my roses at the ocean, it really spoke to me)
“A pink rose In the glittery frost
A diamond heart
And the orange red fire
Once again I fall into My feminine ways
You protect the world from me
As if I’m the only one who’s cruel
You’ve taken me
To the bitter end
Once again I fall into My feminine ways
There are stars exploding
And there is nothing you can do”
