“I am originally from Lima, Peru,” says Raisa Torres. “I currently live in a small town outside of Madison with my husband. The stillness of the town helps me really be with my art. The bold colors and minimal lines have inspirations from Picasso and the colors of the mountains, dessert, and sunsets of the ocean.
“What inspires me to create is opening a conversation about all emotions. With the questions, we begin to touch upon the essence of life.”
Raisa is also inspired by the juxtaposition of the natural wonders and man-made pains of Peru. “I focus on simple lines that tell a deeper story. With the purpose of inviting viewers to dive into their emotions.”
Get to know Raisa better:
What is the best gift you have ever received?
Just simple, perfect, hand written letters.
Where is the most beautiful place you've ever been?
Lying next to the ocean with the desert to my left and Lima to my right. Watching the sunset dance and play with the colors of itself.
Titles of works can be descriptive or clever or totally unrelated. What's your favorite title of a piece you've named?
"Emotions Visiting" is the heart. The bubbles represent the feelings that come and go and just pass through us. However, some feelings leave lasting impressions on us that can radically change our life. These are the impressions left on our heart and soul.
