The Practice
Through gestural abstraction, Louieblaka’s work bridges the space between human emotion and ancestral energy. A visual language that archives cultural memory while evoking spiritual presence. By embedding ancestral rhythms and Afro-Boricua memory into the gestural and color fields of abstraction, his aim is to expand the field to reflect the diasporic experience.
