Hola! I’m Valeria del Carmen and I’ll be attending Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University - New Brunswick for Visual Arts. I came to this country from Venezuela 4 years ago and started in art in my junior year at Hoboken High School after the pandemic. Therefore I don’t have a lot of experience but I love art in any of its expressions. I love painting and it’s what I’m going to specialize in but I also do performing arts outside my school, photography on my own and occasionally writing. As I wrote in my college essay I heard Ethan Hawke say “And all of the sudden you're desperate to make sense out of this life… Did anybody feel like this before? What is happening to me? And that's when art is not a luxury it's actually sustenance. We need it”. And it just made so much sense that I’ll be stuck with it from now on.

My biggest love goes to the movies, they inspire me so much. LaLaLaLand, Star Wars, Black Swan, Sleeping Beauty, Interstellar, Alice in Wonderland… too many to count. I love Le Petit Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. I love Coldplay’s and Shakira’s music and Mary Blair’s art. I love Audreay Hepburn. I do also find inspiration in unfortunate realities. I think it's important to speak up through art. There are many issues in this world and art rouses emotions in those who encounter it. Oppression, violence, animal cruelty, violation of human rights, pollution and mental disorders are some of them.
In the near future I will be traveling around the world, having my own NGO for animals in third world countries like Venezuela, I’ll be a humanitarian, I’ll be making movies, I’ll be painting and I’ll be translating things into art.
