Hello, my name is Carla Herrera. I am an experimental artist in the BFA course at NJCU. My artwork consists of different experimental approaches that encapsulates my different interests. I like to work with charcoal, oil and digital media. My artwork is a visual archive of my different experiences and current interests. My artwork is forever changing as I am trying to find what kind of artist I will be.
(Abstract Expressionist Painter) Jackson Pollock, inspires me because I believe his artwork is the ultimate proof of creative freedom. I love how there are no boundaries in his work and how it highlights this freedom. His usage of color and manipulating compositions is a form of art making I would like to incorporate in my work.

His splash art combines intentional and unintentional artistic choices that speak on different volumes and concepts. I Inspire to create this same reality he shares in his work for my own audiences. His work is very indulging and I enjoy this feeling when I am looking at his work. The more I dive into digital painting and media works, the more I realize how endless the possibilities are.

Two quotes from Susan Sontag Article:
“While a painting or a prose description can never be other than a narrowly selective interpretation, a photograph can be treated as a narrowly selective transparency.”
In a way, they are describing how transparent photographs are as they are definitive proof of a moment in time. Like a photograph, my artwork describes what I have in mind currently and the interest that follows or not.
"As industrialization provided social uses for the operations of the photographer, so the reaction against these uses reinforced the self-consciousness of photography-as-art.”
Photography is a form of artistic expression. In my work, I believe my style depends on the artistic expression I would like to share with my audience members.
