About Adriana Zubikarai
Adriana Zubikarai, Zubi, enjoys telling people she feels as if a big part of her was dormant until she started making art.
In her late 20’s she moved to NYC and earned a certificate degree at the International Center of Photography. Her craving for technique as means of expression brought her to the New York Academy of Art where she learned painting and sculpture.
Zubi’s Mexican upbringing shows up in her color palette, which has led her to collectors in many parts of the world with mayor concentration in USA, Mexico and Japan.
Her artwork is as varied as human experience. You may find her working on small paintings, mirrors, mono-prints, using cardboard, painting on large scale canvases or making sculptures.
She is an artist in residence at MIFA, member of ceramic league of Miami and American Women Artist.
She has volunteered as a teacher in several non profits and currently serving at Breakthrough Miami program. Her teaching practice is about sharing her passion for observation and mindfulness to young kids and adults alike, hoping to encourage the awakening she feels as an artist in others.
Artist Statement
I carry my practice in an exploratory way, choosing paintings, surfaces and grounds that support the concept of the artwork.
Concepts come from life experience: moments in time, feelings generated by a certain space or situation, even daily walks around my neighborhood. An experience turns into an artwork and if its strong enough it will become a body of works. I have lived in big cities all my life, yet nature and conservation are a big part of my work.
Color has a big presence in my artwork, I believe it comes from being born and raised in Mexico City where different hues got engraved into my system.
Highlighting human experience on this planet, with curiosity and joy has reinforced my belief about one human race. Art helps connect people and we notice we are more similar than different.
