Kontempo Art, a contemporary art gallery located in fabulously eclectic Calle Ocho, is proud to present Ileana Collazo’s Floral Fantasies.

In her words: “My work includes not only flowers, but bursts of abstract shapes and colors; lines that form seductive structures. To encapsulate it’s essence; I create small worlds of movement, colors, and shapes that entice the observer to travel through my work surface—colliding with the images, finding their way around to yet another shape, and finding it as alluring to linger gazing at them as I find it to linger in a garden; also, my work is representative of the twists, turns, bumps, and alternatives that each of us transverses in the course of our daily lives.”

Ileana was born in Ciego de Avila, Cuba. She lived in Spain, Florida, New York, Vermont, and Massachusetts; before returning to Miami, where she began her artistic career.
