Antonia Belindo resides in Oklahoma where she concentrates on rendering traditional stories, ideologies, and symbolism through her personal interpretations. Her dynamic imagery and mark making is executed by hand on stretched canvas, paper, non-traditional utilitarian forms such as umbrellas, metal storage cases, or any item she self proclaims as a medium. Foundational to Belindo’s life, there was always a deep emphasis on family and culural identity that has contributed to her body of work and designs. Understanding these relationships and lineage created a non-western, postcolonial perspective of the world around us through connection and respect. Belindo’s work speaks of her life experiences as a daughter, granddaughter, and aunt.
