Brianna Caraballo presents, I want to go home

This series reflects the abusive childhood I endured with my first stepfather. As a painter, I am interested in different textures, colors, shapes, and forms. I create my work by spilling paint directly onto the canvas creating a stain and I utilize unconventional materials such as urine, tomato sauce, and cigarette burns. I paint in an abstract style, working with oils and acrylics. This particular style permanently removes the artist's hand which makes it as if the paint is alive and has a mind of its own. My subject matter choices all stem from my past and link to the present.  I utilize colors tied to strong emotions that are reflections of my past, and the unpredictable path the paint takes is what I connect to the most. The themes presented throughout my work are trauma and healing. I reunite and record fragments of feelings and memory.
