Angelica Sepulveda was born in Colombia South America, a beautiful Country that has marvelous green flowery vegetation everywhere. She grew up there most of her life, and was always in contact with the natural world. Ever since she was a little girl, she loved to replicate her world around her and these natural images were reflected in her drawings. In 1996 she came to the United States, and has ever since lived in Arizona.
Her passion for the arts motivated her to enroll at Mesa Community College to complete a Web Page Design Associates, but after a year of being at school, she realized her heart was not really in expressing herself through a computer and technology but to express herself through the sound of the brush strokes, the marks full of color in the canvas and the manipulation of clay materials, and it was then that she decided to change her career path and to follow a Fine Arts Associates Degree.
At MCC Sepulveda got the knowledge about different techniques involving clay, oil painting,plaster, and found materials. She has been able to apply her talent to oil paintings representing, surrealism, abstraction but mostly realism.
Her most important subject matter is the figure form, in which she represents the duality, mystery and reality around us. Her most used medium is Oil paintings which she utilizes to by adding high key complimentary colors to the canvas to make the painting look more alive. The message to the viewer is not only to contemplate a piece of art, but to leave a piece of herself in every single piece, inviting the audience to be more than a viewer.
Sepulveda’s work has been exhibited several times at the Alwun House of Phoenix, The Tempe public library and she also had a series of kids paintings exhibited at the Phoenix Art Museum. Sepulveda continues working in different art series, and also works by commission.
