    My work explores my cultural identity, the sense of suspension that I
    find myself in, the tension I feel exists between two different
    cultures: Nicaragua, my country of origin and Britain my country of
    residence. By exploring this tension through Collage, Paintings and
    Relief Work I generate a visual language, which expresses their
    dynamics through hard-edged color and form. I represent them within a
    strong but simple composition; shapes that fight against each other in
    a space.  I use vibrant colors those which express succinctly, visually
    and aesthetically the strongest tension, particularly that produced by
    polarities.
