Some Body That I Used to Know

Toledo focuses on the feminine universe, and therefore on herself. Painting from memory scenes from photographs and films to create art within her own script, Toledo’s works seek to convey fundamental emotions such as love, sadness, and loneliness through a deep investigation into the female experience with an autobiographical dimension.
Interested in the nature of painting itself, her works convey an impression of nostalgia and remembrance, using an intuitive approach that separates each work from its origin through the psychological use of color and the expressiveness of lighting. For Toledo, painting works as an introspective diary that describes and reconciles her feelings and experiences. Her art captures the essence of introspection, longing, and human interaction.
The artist invites viewers to find solace in the stillness and sensory richness of each work of art.
