BIOGRAPHY
Ms.
Dania Sierra was born in Havana
Cuba and exiled to the United
States with her family in 1962.
Ms.
Sierra's inclination for art
at a very young age made her
an entrepreneur in the graphic
arts world at the early age
of 22. She expanded her knowledge
of this field at Florida Career
Institute where she obtained
a Commercial Arts degree. Her
success in graphic arts earned
her a respectable commission
in 1989 from Carnival Cruise
Lines to create a kinetic sculpture
for their flagship hotel, the
Crystal Palace Hotel and Casino
in Nassau, Bahamas. Prior to
her studies in commercial art,
she had been refining her style
at the University of Miami where
she was awarded a Fine Arts
scholarship, as well as several
art courses at Barry College.
By
the late 1990's, Ms. Sierra's
work had been featured in several
galleries throughout the United
States including the Latin American
Art Museum in Miami, Florida.
Today, her works are part of
private collections in the Caribbean;
Central and South America; Mexico;
Eastern and Western Europe;
Canada; and, the United States.
Ms.
Sierra is a philanthropist who
is dedicated to donating her
time and artwork to numerous
local and national non-profit
associations. She was recently
selected by the renowned publishing
house, Hought Mifflin, to include
her celebrated folkloric painting,
"Guajiro Verde", in
one of their upcoming Spanish
textbooks. Also during the present
year, The Business Journal for
Hispanic Research selected several
of her pieces for their premiere
issue published in June of 2007.
Ms.
Sierra has an uncanny ability
to establish an inner dialogue
with each individual observing
her artwork. Her intuitive expressionism
awakens emotions within the
beholder of the nurturing love,
pain, freedom, immortality and
hope that lie within us. Through
her work, Dania allows the viewer
into her own private realm,
into her soul, leaving us with
a deep sense of intimacy with
the painter and one self.
Ms.
Sierra's brilliant execution
of color and design has earned
her the respect of collectors
and colleagues. Her artwork
portrays the artist's quiet,
gentle nature by silently enticing
us with a colorful embrace that
will impale our subconscious
repeatedly.
