Art in Public Places Father Marquess Barry Apt in Historic Overtown by Nicole Salcedo

Nicole Salcedo is a Cuban-American multi-disciplinary artist based in Miami, Florida. She works in sculpture, fibers, performance and film, with a foundational practice in drawing and pattern design. Nicole’s drawings open up pathways that offer a deeper understanding of consciousness and the various connections between our bodies and the environment.

Using repetitive marks to create patterns and webs of energy within her work. Incorporating human-elemental hybrid figures that reflect various scales of ecosystems and natural phenomena that exist within and around us. Salcedo’s influences include botany, fractals, the physics of electromagnetic energy, and her animistic spiritual practice. By delving into her personal experiences and cultural heritage, Salcedo creates art that speaks to universal themes of identity, transformation, and interconnectedness. Salcedo’s work draws us closer to the mystery of existence and invites us to embrace the beauty and complexity of the world around us.
