Piece description from the artist
This piece is a contemporary spin on the traditional District of Columbia flag. It's sophisticated in its monochromatic nature but playful with the textured abstract markings. As a resident of DC, Carina experienced the dichotomy of living in the world's capital yet, along with another 700,000+ residents, not having the benefit of congressional representation. As with all things DC-related, this piece is inherently political and calls for DC Statehood, while playfully celebrating the District and its residents.
Carina Tenaglia resides in the DC metro area, where she works as a lawyer and creates artwork in her free time. She specializes in abstract painting and modern calligraphy. Inspired by neutral and metallic tones, texture, movement, light, and shadows, and she uses a layering process to add depth to her fine art. She is also inspired by social justice initiatives and donates a percentage of profits from her collections and proceeds as a whole to benefit local and nationwide non-profits advancing social justice and humanitarian efforts.
Carina has participated in several local and international art shows and exhibitions, and her work has been featured in two hotels, a Senator's office, Shop Made in DC, Steadfast Supply, Park Story, various West Elm locations, and in other shows. She also holds occasional art workshops.
