Life inspires me, specially nature and the beauty of my island; the colors of the tropic, the flora. “Heliconia Paradise “ is based on the flower heliconia, tropical plant; there are a wide variety of them. They are known for their beautiful and bright colors. The shades of red, orange and yellow are the most popular.
This piece was inspired in its beauty. It brings me memories of my youth; when we visited the country property ( Casa de Campo), of the family; in the west part of the island. Picking and bringing the plant and flowers to our home; and the good times we had together.
I hope people will want to know more about our island and the many treasures and beauty we have in our flora. For me, flowers are like music to our senses, bringing back memories of places and people and good times.
