Artist Comments
Artist Yamilet Sempe presents a dragonfly in an abstract body of water. She regards the winged insect as a totem symbol of life. "In almost the whole world it symbolizes maturity and depth," says Yamilet. "As well as the change of perspective of self-realization, emotional maturity, and understanding." The flight over the water represents the aspects that are beyond the surface.
About the Artist
Artist Yamilet Sempe paints boldly graphic abstracts, visibly influenced by modernist aesthetics. A keen believer in the power of signs, she incorporates symbols of mysticism and spirituality in her work. Her compositions feature dramatic palettes—intentionally using orange to represent enthusiasm and positivity. "I am only an instrument of the creator," says Yamilet. Spending her formative years in Cuba and France, she immersed herself in the presence and influence of renowned artists of culture. After years of working as a veterinary nurse, it was not until her mid-forties she chose to dedicate her time to painting, her true passion. She migrated to Florida and devoted herself to her practice, working at her home studio neighboring the coast. Yamilet splits her time between the United States and Paris, allowing her shared vision of diverse cultures. Her work has been featured in esteemed exhibitions in Europe and the USA.
