Some Of My Art.
“Are you like me, a wonder-seeking old soul, who is proud of where I come from (Mexico) while feeling I belong to other cultures? If so, I’m grateful our paths crossed.” – OV
About Me.
OV” represents the artistic odyssey of Odette Valero, a Mexican-Canadian whose journey spans continents and cultures. Rooted in a background of International Business, Discourse Analysis, and Cross-Cultural Studies, Odette found in art a profound medium for exploring identity, celebrating cultural encounters, and navigating personal transformation. Her creative vision blends Symbolic and Folk Art styles to evoke layers of cultural and metaphorical meaning, engaging viewers in dialogues on themes of identity, cultural resilience, and the nuances of heritage. Through her art, Odette explores the concept of “sense of place,” weaving together physical landscapes, mythological narratives, and historical contexts to challenge and redefine cultural boundaries. Embracing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion as guiding principles, she aims to inspire personal growth and collective well-being, fostering a universal resonance through her emotionally charged artworks.
