DAGGER

“I’m gonna rip your heart out

and bury it in the sand,

so the ocean can take it away”

This is my self protection amulet, my weapon.

In a symbolic way, I wanna use this dagger for stealing someone’s heart and at the same time to protect myself from a broken heart.

I’ve carried this piece from New York to Los Angeles, California, I had it in my lap and sometimes under my seat on the plane, we made it to Laguna where I thought I would move for the winter but there were other plans cooking in the meantime.

I took my dagger to one of my favorite beaches there at Sunset time but I wasn’t happy with how it looked with the orange tones from the sunset and I had no time to try another day so I had to wait a couple months until I got to my final destination and felt good to light it up. Finally February reminded me I had to use it so I could finally cut your chest in half and rip your heart out…

Beach painting

“Pupukea bus ride”

11”x14”

Acrylic on paper

If you were seeing this painting anywhere, I don’t think you’d know I painted this, Is something I’ve never done before, I don’t usually use a lot of colors, I love using whites and lavenders with black so I’m surprised of how this one turned out because even tho is not even and is not perfect I do love all the weird elements in it, perhaps nothing really makes sense to you, the house it’s the main focus here, I feel like the inspiration comes from the houses I’ve seen while riding the bus on the route that goes on Kamehameha Highway by Pupukea on the North Shore, all the houses there are right by the ocean, some of them so old and unique, others more modern with asian accents, big and small and surrounded by plants and flowers and lots of palm trees, I guess I collected some of the details i’ve liked and dream about my ideal home. There’s me on the corner right below admiring the mountains and the waves. A clay vase I made, some flowers, a wave, more palm trees and overall just me exploring the brushes and the acrylic palette I have.

NEON BOOBS: 3 STORIES

I have 3 stories for you today.

All my boobies creations represent a woman and a story, today I posted on my instagram this photo below about 3 of my neon boobs artworks and I want to tell you about it.

From left to right:

1.- “Dominga”, that’s my abuelita’s name (RIP) she had big ones, so does my mom and of course, myself, thanks Minga (that’s how we used to call her) and all my big boobs ancestors haha, it wasn’t until a few years ago that i finally accepted the fact that i had big boobs and started feeling good about it. I grew up feeling ashamed of them, they were just so big, but these are the coconuts that I was meant to have so there’s nothing I can do about it. This piece talks about genes and heritage, generations and family resemblance from woman to woman.

2.- “Plus, we’re not perfect”, these are big boobs and uneven, because that’s normal, I’m talking about naturally plus size girls, a lot of plus size women aren’t happy with their bodies, even skinny girls aren’t but none of us are perfect and that’s okay, so let’s just try to carry that weight in the best possible and healthy way.

3.- “Bipolar”, to all of you with a bipolar disorder struggling everyday, going from one or many positive thoughts to negative ones, you’re still going to be loved, hang in there and ask for help, know the symptoms and talk to your family, I’m no expert and I don’t want to hurt anyone with my thoughts so I’ll stop right there because i don’t know how that feels like, but I will continue celebrating all of you chicas no matter what.

Light & Love,

Teresa. 

Sunset Rose

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.

Beautiful Sunset Rockaway Beach

Studio selfie, Neon Flower

Hi guys,

Just wanted to share a picture of me and one of my neon flowers, just recently picked it up from the neon shop, I had it there since 2019 I think, btw, can you tell i’m a bit tanned? I’ve been getting kissed by the sun and feels great! I’m also wearing a beautiful traditional Mexican shirt that my dear sister friend got me from Veracruz and is so cute!!!

I hope everyone can have a great summer, be nice to others and follow your gut or the universe guides if possible!

Love,

Teresa.
