Artist Statement

My name is Ana Maria Lopez Pellerano, I was born and raised in the Dominican Republic. I’m a Communication Design junior transfer student at Parsons. The fields of design that I like the most are typography, lettering and pattern-design, but I’m opened-minded to expand my skills and knowledge as an artist and designer.

I like making mistakes, I believe am a work in progress who is enjoying the process. My attitude toward mistakes and trial and error have led me to the philosophy my sister once said to me: You have to see beyond your skin. This short phrase summarizes and reminds me of how the most important things are often hidden. This is why I am always observing my surroundings in search of inspiration, and taking differents points of view to the experiences I am involved.

Due to my approach in understanding and witnessing the fluctuations in life, I believe that perfection does not exist. However, I consider that a piece can always be better. Furthermore, feedback and critique can help me shape it, something that I always look forward to because I can absorb the knowledge of the people I interact with.

What I enjoy the most is making craft projects and giving them a handwritten and human sensitive feeling. I consider that these qualities are the ones which embrace the essence of the piece. Even though I feel I was born in the Victorian era because of my passion and appreciation to ornaments, I always do my best to experiment with different techniques, because these qualities should be project driven.
