ABOUT HAYDEE
Haydee Flores Perez is a self-taught traditional media, digital portrait and figurative artist based on Mersea Island, UK. She was born in Argentina and lived in the USA and Spain before settling in the UK. In 2018, when she retired from her teaching career, she became a full time artist. Through 25 years of independent study and dedicated studio practice, she has developed a style that translates both in her traditional and digital media.
Her work explores themes of the human experience. She aims to capture the essence and emotions of her subjects through storytelling. Her work is representational but in parallel she creates a body of work in constant evolution that explores and experiments with surrealism and symbolism.
She has completed commissions for clients and sold her work to collectors in the UK and abroad.
She's a founding member of The Mersea Art Collective a group of Mersea Island Artists that organise a yearly art trail, group exhibitions and participate and collaborate in community organised events.
She has exhibited in the: Boomer Gallery,Tower Bridge London "Inner world" First Edition(2024),The Pond Gallery in Snape Maltings(2024), Cultura Viva Gallery in Buenos Aires, Argentina " Mujeres por Mujeres" exhibition(2025), and local venues and galleries on Mersea Island and Tollesbury.
