About The Artist:
Élan Cadiz an interdisciplinary, multi ethnic, multi racial, North American, native New Yorker, and Visual Artist that deconstructs and balances her intersectionality through her projects. Élan’s art and practice are grounded in the documentation of her personal narrative through the use of portraiture, domestic and historical imagery.
Cadiz’s artworks explore the ways societal and personal histories overlap and affect individual relationships, power dynamics and identity.
The materials she works with are influenced by the subjects she discuss which is why she moves masterly through mediums, collaging the best materials to convey her visual language.
Élan Cadiz’s intention is to speak to the boundless potential in humanity despite impediments and ways our pasts can inform our future for the better. Her goal is to have viewers question their condition(s) in ways that bring about helpful inner inquiry and thoughtful discussion.
