About

Chayel uses color and form as an avenue to explore identity, experiences, and mythical realities. Her acrylic paintings represent human awareness as a transcendental being that journeys through playful realms of emotion and energy. These liminal spaces and the character they follow are often de-constructions of biological material. She uses mark-making as a way to shape streams of consciousness and cellular content that lay present in bodies. In her work, she aims to express a place for black individuals to whimsically dream and exist outside of the context of race and imposed stereotypes.
