Artist Statement
“I paint the spirit and energy of life in rhythmic layers of color. Responding to what catches my eye and heart, I personify nature and evoke a range of moods with a touch of mystery. I use symbolic visual language to explore both the visible and invisible, creating a commentary on relationships and thoughts.
As I work, the images can be unexpected and abstract, flowing from gathered memories across a lifetime of travel and experiences. I build layers that make connections, and a story unfolds. The work evolves, and quite often, by the time the painting is finished, it has a history of stories interwoven in the layers, some of which I reveal using sgraffito. Each work of art is a journey of exploration.”
"Pedrero’s work has a fresh and contemporary flavor, in contrast to its strong traditional technical strengths. This unity of form and content is particularly refreshing in today’s contemporary art scene."
