Carmen Sorrenti makes art to survive, and for the “pure passion of it.” A visionary maker, Sorrenti says, “My dreams are too volcanic; they would explode my head and my heart if I did not!” A painter working in acrylic on canvas, text is a strong component of her work. What Carmen calls “the collective dreaming” (dreams and mythology) is her subject matter. “They say the imaginal is the organ of the soul,” Sorrenti explains. She works globally, including in Italy, New Mexico and Paris. She maintains art is “like falling in love — awesome and terrible.” Currently, she’s finishing up a tarot deck project that has been in the making for the past 3 years, soon to be exhibited in Boston, New York City and Chicago.
