My creative process is characterized by impromptu expression and unforced outbursts, resulting in compositions that are akin to a personal diary. My works are inspired by volatile emotions that well up within my inquisitive spirit. To produce unique artwork, I harness my creative urges by drawing from daily emotion-triggering activities as well as the depths of my personal experiences. This allows me to extract all the creative juice necessary to create art that is truly unique and meaningful.

Artist’s Statement

Marlene Jorge, an autodidact pop surrealist artist born in Santiago, Dominican Republic in 1974, has a unique approach to addressing unconsciousness. Jorge's style liberates unconsciousness from the common perspective, inviting spectators to break free from preconceptions and society's blueprints. She spent her youth between her native Dominican Republic and the USA, with her first drawing composition dating back to 1982, owned by her mother who recognized her artistry at the early age of five. Jorge's art challenges us to sympathize with our inner selves, untouched by preconceived social and cultural backgrounds, inviting us to embrace who we truly are without the life-giving preconceptions we experience constantly. Her elevated perspective provides a subtle yet unique composition, enticing us to understand and accept our true selves.
