ARTIST INFORMATION
Viophilia
vi·o·phil·i·a
[vahy-oh-fil-ee-uh]
noun
a love of creation; the infatuation of evolving ideas from one’s imagination
Founded in October 2012 by Ivette Cabrera and Francy Freixas, Viophilia is a studio collective compromised of an exhibition space, five artist studios and an in-house gallery. Created for artists by artists with a need for an environment conducive to creativity and productivity. Viophilia resident artists have gone on to perform on Jimmy Kimmel Live, screened in Miami Short Film Festival, blogged about on Miami New Times as well as The Miami Herald and exhibited in the Baker Museum in Naples Florida among others.
Our goal is simple, we honor the rebel, the ground-breaker, the habitual-over-the-line-stepper and those who refuse to play by the rules. Viophilia is created as a creative sanctuary where artists who wish to escape the confines of society can flourish without giving in to the mediocre standards of life. Where we will go from here is unclear but the destination is always all the same. We invite you to join us on that creative journey into the unknown.

Glenda Ramos
Paintings from the heart to brighten your room.
Glenda was born in Brazil and has been in Miami since 1997. Her passion for painting started in 2013 and it came as a pleasant surprise. Indeed was a surprise when she posted a picture of one of her paintings on Facebook and the first comment was “I need that piece in my living room”, having her first sale being shipped to Hawaii a few days later. As an emerging artist she has participated in many festivals and galleries exhibitions throughout South Florida. Live painting has been a fun addition to some of the events. She has been praised for her bright colors, nature themes and light mood. Her nature and abstract paintings with vibrant colors and movement are sure to make you smile.

Aquarela Sabol
Aquarela Sabol is a multi-disciplinary artist, street muralist and overall image maker based out of Miami.
Although receiving some schooling in fine arts, she is primarily a self taught artist. Her preferred medium is oil paints, combined with non-traditional fine art mediums like spray paint and textiles. She focuses creating feminine characters that often have deeper symbolism and an implied or direct interaction with nature to explore the relationship of the human experience and its context within the world.

Rei Ramirez
I studied Graphic Design and graduated in 2013. I’ve found an ongoing admiration creating fine art. I chose graphic design as an opportunity to project my use of concepts and symbols. I’m also learning to apply my talents into a more technological medium: such as the web. My goal is to offer my talent and skills to help company’s build identity and communicate their ideas. In return make friends, gather ideas and have fun along the way!
