This work was inspired by my last year writing my thesis for my Masters. This painting/drawing will be published through my school, Pratt Institute in my Thesis. This piece speaks on mental health and to the personal Resilience/Trauma that I went through. The theme of my fourth painting Resilience is the overcoming of obstacles. The human figure in this final painting possesses a sense of buoyancy, promise, and purpose. The water reflected the current of experiences that led me to resilience. The process of creating these objects, figures, and color started with general gestures. The blue train symbolizes my father’s presence and love. The train is traveling through water but at the same time it appears to be in the sky. My fathers spirit has been an angel to me throughout my trauma. The sail on the boat is a crescent moon and represents freedom. The two figures in my painting reflect bright blue colors from various body parts signifying possibility. Resilience shows up in multiple layers. These layers reveal my long voyage, as represented by a boat with a crescent moon as its sail. These overall images are light, whimsical, and hopeful.

My name is Salenia Sanchez. I'm 30 years old. I'm a contemporary painter. Currently finished up my last year in Graduate school at Pratt Institute, Brooklyn New York. I am now a working Art Therapist fulfilling my passion/calling in life. I was Born in Bronx, New York. I'm adopted and very blessed. I love shapes, color, and everyday found objects. I love to move vibrating paint as Art has given me the tools and courage to help me co-birth a new language every time I paint or draw. I was 16 when I was uprooted from Florida and transplanted to Tennessee. I found it difficult to ground myself in my new surroundings. I felt alienated from my peers because of our cultural differences. From this emotionally challenging experience, I gained a deeper appreciation for diversity. Due to COVID-19 I was forced back to Tennessee, to an environment that felt like unfinished business. Now, moving back home to Brooklyn NY, I learned a deeper relationship to the natural world using different shapes, textures, and colors. This challenge of adjustment and contemplation soon seeped into my work. My palette naturally evolved to express a more emotional, passionate truth and fear. Beginning with an empty space that argues love and lies, I developed these altered landscapes of introspective and celebratory experiences. The trunk, the branches and twigs of my paintings are reflections of a fictive realm that dwells inside me. The disorganizations of these shapes found in these paintings were a confession of both my doubts and my solutions.
