@itdefines_me
A perfect blank world where I can create and allow my soul to express itself freely. It becomes an autobiography, where emotions are hidden and understood only by them and me. — Eva GDL
My art reflects the many emotions that we, as human beings and dancers, experience through movement and life's moments. Some of us are defined by what we do, what we express, and what motivates us. Others simply live in the present, embracing one day at a time, or wander through the endless journey of discovering who they truly are.
I love witnessing how the human soul allows its imagination to run free in search of its true self—to see beyond what appears simple and obvious while connecting with my art.
A Little About Me
I was born in Venezuela and am now based in Florida, where I continue to follow a lifelong journey shaped by art, movement, and self-expression.
From an early age, my body found its voice through dance and the visual arts. Mirrors and stages became my world, teaching me how to communicate through movement long before I understood the power of words. At the same time, pencils, brushes, and different artistic mediums gave my heart a way to express its emotions, dreams, and experiences. Art became more than a passion—it became part of who I am.
My love for dance led me to a professional career as a soloist with the National Ballet of Caracas–Teresa Carreño, where I had the privilege of performing both throughout Venezuela and internationally. While dedicating myself to the discipline and beauty of classical ballet, I also pursued professional studies in visual and digital arts at the Institute of Art and Design “Miró,” nurturing another side of my creative spirit.
Today, my artwork is where these two worlds meet. Every painting carries traces of my life as a dancer—the rhythm, movement, balance, and emotion that once lived on stage now find their way onto the canvas. Through flowing lines, geometric forms, and expressive compositions, I seek to capture the energy and poetry of movement in a visual language.
I work primarily with pastel, oil, and watercolor, drawn to the unique emotions each medium can convey. My artistic voice is influenced by abstract expressionism, modern art, and, above all, the grace and fluidity of dance.
Over the years, my work has been exhibited in the United States, England, Latin America, and other parts of Europe, and has become part of private collections around the world. Each exhibition and every connection made through my art is a reminder of the beauty of sharing a piece of my story with others.
At my core, I am a storyteller. Whether through a performance or a painting, my purpose has always been the same: to create from the heart, evoke emotion, and celebrate the beauty, strength, and movement that connect us all. My journey began in Venezuela, but its story continues to unfold with every canvas I create.
