Hello, I’m Eli!
I am a craft-based artist from Miami, FL residing and working in Brooklyn, NY. Inspired by organic shapes, fibers and trinkets often seen at local discount shops, I create from these found materials. My work ranges from collages, jewelry, and sculptural pieces to mixology, and curating spaces.
Through my collages, I combine family photographs, magazine pages, paper and other found materials. These small-scale works delve into mementos of my childhood and my queerness, through choice of color, texture, and imagery.
During the pandemic, I devoted my time to learning the tactile knowledge of polymer-clay through creating jewelry. In addition to creating earrings, I have utilized polymer-clay to create miniature dinner tables that serve as functional incense holders inspired by the dishes I ate growing up in my Colombian-Venezuelan household.
In 2022, I hosted several craft-based workshops in my Bushwick home as well as curated food and drink experiences, sharing my admiration for these skills that I believe should be accessible to the community around me.
