ARTIST STATEMENT.
George Luis Ramon Heinsen Molina (b. 1988, Santiago de los Caballeros; raised in Puerto Plata) is a Dominican visual artist whose practice is rooted in memory, syncretism, and the desire to return to an original state of communal harmony. For a brief yet formative period of his childhood, he lived in Cabía, a rural area of Puerto Plata, in his maternal family’s home, where thirteen relatives coexisted as a pluridiverse and harmonious entity. This experience shaped his understanding of horizontality, shared ritual, and the possibility of coexistence beyond stereotypes and inherited wounds.
Conceiving himself as a syncretic entity, Heinsen Molina approaches art as a space where emancipatory rituals and the everyday converge. His work unfolds through performative, sensory, and contemplative gestures that seek a symbolic return, stripped of learned knowledge, trauma, and imposed narratives.
