Yolanda Naranjo Art and Design
There are always stories to be told, and ways to tell them…I am moved, stirred by the experiment, the surprise of the work itself, unconventional materials through which I express myself as a wanderer, observer, nonconformist, human, woman, mother…Transformation, evolution, emotions, all intertwined; ART-LIFE whose driver are the feelings prompted in the vastness of the forms.
