Meet the artist
Miss Rey.
A Dominican artist, mother, and muse creating intricate original work through observation, empathy, intuition, and repetition.
Behind the work
There is always more beneath the surface.
I create with permanent markers, acrylic markers, gel pens, and colored pencils on Bristol. Each line is an act of attention. Each pattern becomes a place for memory, thought, and emotion to surface.
I want the viewer to come closer, pause, and discover something beyond a first impression. The work makes room for your own logic and your own understanding.
Artist statement
More Than What Is Seen
I experience the world through observation, empathy and curiosity. I am fascinated by what exists beneath the obvious, from the emotions behind a person’s behavior to the craftsmanship of an everyday object or the quiet process of something growing.
When I create, I translate those perceptions into lines, shapes, colors and patterns. I react intuitively to the drawing as it develops, allowing one decision to lead to another until the experience becomes its own visual language.
My work asks the viewer to come closer. To pause, observe and become curious enough to discover something beyond their first impression. For that moment, outside distractions can disappear and the artwork becomes a place for thought, memory and emotion to surface.
Each drawing carries a piece of me, my patience, discipline, imperfections and love. I create as a way of contributing that love to the world, and as a record of what I was able to see, feel and leave behind.
