INDIA SERENA

The importance of geometric abstraction in Venezuelan art is well known. It has been an indisputable visual referent since the 1950s in our cultural context, and it has recently become popular not only in Venezuela but also across continents. Because geometry is a universal language, geometric abstraction is accessible to any viewer around the world. It offers unlimited possibilities and the gaze becomes sensitive to the novel forms, color contrasts, compositions, illusory optical effects, etc.

There is no doubt that geometric figures are a constant subject of exploration for artists that favor this artistic current.  It can be innovative in an unlimited number of ways, and that is palpable when observing works by a new generation of artists. This is the case with the pieces created by India-Serena, a young Venezuelan artist raised in the state of Nueva Esparta and based in Paris since 2004.
