Rosa E Latorre

I’m originally from the Philippines but moved to New Jersey at the age of seven to live with my mother. I recently received my B.A. in Liberal Arts with a concentration of English Lit. The discipline of English Literature gives me a better understanding of details and close reading which gives me a better insight on life, colors, text, and basically everything around me.







My works of art have an underbelly of similarity but different skins. What I mean by that is all my paintings, sketches, photos, etc. may look different but their principles are the same. I do art because I appreciate lines, light, and vibrant dark colors. My basic color pallet are vivid and dark. With photography, it is the contrast of lines and lights along with its engagement to the environment that makes for captivating pictures.







What strikes me from others is my love for lines. In all my works, you can identify lines in many shapes. Another thing that sharpens me from the art group is my affinity for Sharpies. I use Sharpie with almost all my work as a starter. I do not think of what to make, rather, I use lines to take me to my next creation.





Question: 1. What if the world was Oblong? Do you think the world would be different? How?





or.. 2. I gave you a $100 dollars, what would you do with it?







Thanks Bloggers and World.

City Lines


Ever started lines that turned into a picture? Scribbled scraps that evolved into shades? Or some type of architecture? This is what I do..while I wait for a program to load at work..... I go to Paint, I pick a background, I pick a shape, and I just go nuts with it or until I finally feel like the lines are defined enough for me not to obess about. If in a perfect world, I would work on this picture for about 2 days to 2 weeks to a month probably. But in my world, I like to give litttle scraps and upload things from work bc if my fire would fizzle if I do a project for too long in small increments. 
I'm calling this "City Lines" for now.
I think it represents a good deal of sky, shadow, and overall imagery of how the city looks from afar.

From this, I think I'm inspired to do one about people and how THEY would look from afar. =]
Guess we'll see....
