As part of her Noche de Arte residency, Ms. Gómez del Valle invites special guests for various art engagements each week. On October 14th, join us for a Workshop on Image Transfer hosted by Jean & Iggy Font in the Gallery Lounge of InterContinental Miami Hotel!
Monday, Oct. 14th, 5-7pm - Workshop on Image Transfer led by Jean & Iggy Font, Mixed Media Artist & Painter
Jean Blackwell Font and Ignacio Font, artists and creative visionaries, co-founded collaboARTive in the vibrant Bird Road Art District. This innovative space is dedicated to fostering collaboration among artists and promoting their work through community-oriented initiatives.
Jean Blackwell Font's art explores the beauty, mystery, and strength that bind generations of women. Her autobiographical pieces are resonant and universal, delving into personal narratives that invite reflection. Using cultural and emotional symbolism, she communicates themes of epigenetic trauma—etched in memory, released through grief, and sustained by unseen generational bonds.
Ignacio Font's artwork reflects his life, feelings, and personal journey. His paintings offer a therapeutic, cathartic experience, blending structure and chaos with elements of geometry, abstraction, and dreamlike figures, evoking landscapes.
Together, Jean and Ignacio Font have created powerful and poignant bodies of work that speak to the human experience. Through collaborations, they merge their unique perspectives and approaches, resulting in exhibitions that are both visually striking and emotionally evocative.
