CORDERO’s Stylized Expressions of the Soul

For American artist CORDERO, the process of creating art is an instinctive one.

Combining surrealistic aspects with realistic tendencies, CORDERO creates figurative portraits that are as elegant as they are compelling. Each painting features an elongated face with large, expressive eyes and a strong emphasis on elements of light and shadow. Loose, dramatic brushstrokes of color lend texture and depth to each image and create a strong sense of emotive expression.

Within her work, CORDERO seeks to capture the essence of the human spirit within her larger than life faces. Thus, the hallmarks of her portraits are the soulful eyes and expressive facial expressions of her subjects, which invite the viewer to look closer and behold the true beauty hidden within the larger image – perhaps even enabling them to forge an emotional connection. Through her contemporary portraits the artist is able to explore the deeper truths contained in our humanity and the meaning behind the three-dimensional mask that is human existence. As CORDERO explains, “My paintings are intuitively and psychologically stylized expressions of my soul.”
