Cora Bracho Art
STATEMENT
With no formal art education, but guided by an innate curiosity and deep attraction to the world of art, I am a self-taught mixed media artist working in sculpture, collage, painting, and assemblage. My artistic practice combines low-firing clay with a variety of post-fired techniques, found objects, papers, textures, and layered materials to create expressive works where organic elements and unexpected objects come together in harmonic balance.
Artists are storytellers. Whatever the medium—painting, sculpture, collage, music, or words—we continuously express the story of who we are. Throughout my life, I have felt the need to create with my hands, transforming thoughts, memories, and emotions into tangible forms inspired by the different cultures and places I have had the opportunity to live in and explore.
My work is primarily figurative, where color, love, longing, hope, humor, rhythm, texture, and balance intertwine as reflections of personal experiences and human connection. Although I began as a painter, I quickly moved toward sculpture and mixed media assemblage, drawn by the richness of three-dimensional expression and the tactile dialogue between materials. Over time, collage and mixed media became an essential extension of my artistic language, allowing me to layer stories, textures, fragments, and symbolism into deeply personal compositions that invite viewers not only to observe, but also to emotionally connect with the work.
