artist statement of
careshia esperanza
My name is Careshia Esperanza and I am an artist living in Cape Town, SA. My work ranges from painting to sculptures. Sense of humour and playfulness is what I aim for. We should be able to play while making art.
I thrive on mixing things up, working with everything from acrylics, oil sticks, koki and ink. My work brings together human forms, often a bit disjointed and warped, with an eclectic cast of creatures and monsters. Each piece is a little adventure—fun, weird, and titillating, with unexpected twists and a sense of playfulness.
I aim to create art that catches you off guard, makes you look twice, and lets you dive into a world where anything (and anyone) can take shape.
