Artist's Statement

Jessica Concepcion received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Ringling School of Art and Design where she studied figure drawing, painting, and narrative imagery. She has worked as a scenic artist and her paintings have been exhibited throughout the state and the Miami-Dade area.
Using a variety of media such as oils, acrylics, charcoals and pastels, Jessica Concepcion has created a series of expressive paintings that recall events in her life. Through the process of painting, she finds peace in what is hidden beneath the surface. She states, “What I am intending to express is there, but hidden beneath it is a subtext that deals with issues like an absent father, the single-child syndrome, and abandonment…What matters to me is the peace I find in those few seconds, when what was hidden is revealed.” http://www.jessicaconcepcion.com/.
