BIOGRAPHY
Stradling painting and sculpture, Denise Heredia’s works are highly textural paintings that appeal in principle both to the senses of sight and of touch. Comprising of plain single-color backgrounds with deeply furrowed regular, parallel lines that continue to the painting’s edges, and colorful heavy impastos hurled instinctively to create harmonious compositions which break the regularity the parallel lines provide, her paintings are dynamic and exuberant, and provide a contrast between order and joyful chaos, reminiscent of the opposing energies of childhood which oscillate between willed obedience and playful spontaneity.
As a contemporary abstract artist, I work hard to develop paintings that turn the energy I have into something beautiful, something that can be explained in a thousand ways -therefore, I paint abstract works, works that have no concrete form. Through the different lines, colors, splatters, spill marks, splatters, and heavy textures that I use, I want to be able to breathe life and add character into the flat surface that I constantly work with. I want to show through my artworks that there is order in disorder and harmony in chaos. I want people to resonate with the works that I make. I want my audience to feel something, whenever they see my works because that, I believe is what true art is all about. For me, art is life and art brings me back to earth. Art centers me and makes me more of who I am. Every time I finish work, I make sure that I leave a piece of myself in them.

Heredia, who recounts Jackson Pollock, Jose Joya and Jason Martinas, her inspirations. As a young artist, she also has taken pointers from Jigger Cruz and Jason Montinola.
