Jeisa Mendez

PROJECT: SELF PORTRAIT

Describe your favorite animal. Describe your favorite color. A brief theory in psychology. . . Your description of your favorite animal is how you indirectly see yourself. Your description of your favorite color is how other people indirectly see you. You might be more beautiful than you thought you were, or maybe you did not know you had an ugly side. And you may be more loved than you imagined.

ARTIST STATEMENT

“Jeisa Mendez has always had the mind of a designer. Her ability to translate multifaceted concepts into simple symbolism both challenges the viewer and allows her as the artist to step away to observe how they infer and identity with her work. This painting accomplishes a revelation of personal meaning as well as engulfing the viewer with questions.”

You will be happy you did it, for it’s a fascinating experience to look back on my monument of thoughts.
