Jeffly Gabriela Molina

  • Jeffly Gabriela Molina’s paintings explore the profound experience of migration and the tension of living between identities. Informed by her migration from Venezuela to the United States, Molina creates visual narratives about the work of building a home amid uncertainty. In her ongoing series Homemade Sculptures, she paints intimate, symbolic objects—flower arrangements, glasses of water, and personal artifacts—that simultaneously carry fragility and the promise of beginning again. Alongside the still lives, Molina paints portraits of herself and other migrants living with ‘split’ identities, rendering endurance and integrity. Thinking deeply about composition, she uses the language of color, opacity, and scale to communicate her sitter’s conception of home. Subjects are painted alone, quiet portraits of resilience: they hold tenderness, preserve memory, and offer space to imagine a brighter future.
