Artist Statement

In a world of ever-evolving dynamics, the essence of strength and endurance in women’s lives has taken on new and profound significance. My collection of abstract female figurative sculptures seeks to encapsulate the power, resilience, and unwavering endurance that women embody in contemporary society.

These sculptures are visual narratives that reflect the complexities and struggles faced by women today. They stand as testaments to the fortitude women draw upon in family, career, personal challenges, or the pursuit of equality and justice. The abstract nature of these sculptures underscores the multifaceted and ever-changing roles women play. These figures are not bound by traditional norms or societal expectations but instead embody the fluidity and adaptability that women consistently demonstrate. Each curve, form, and texture tells a story of growth, transformation, and resilience.

The textures on these sculptures represent a form of protection that women must possess for themselves, their children, and their communities. These textures symbolize the armors women create to shield their loved ones from adversity, be it emotional or societal. Just as the sculptures reveal rough-hewn, intricate textures, they mirror the complexities and strength of women who serve as protectors, mentors, and guides.

Viewers are encouraged to perceive these sculptures beyond the physical form. They invite contemplation of the unseen, intangible strength that lies within. Just as the sculptures may appear to balance on a precipice or flow with innate grace, so do the women they represent in their daily lives.

These pieces serve as reminders that, while enduring hardships and surmounting obstacles, women often do so with a grace and beauty that is both subtle and powerful. They remind us that strength and endurance are not just attributes of physical prowess but qualities of the heart and spirit.

As an artist, I aim to provoke thought and inspire dialogue, shedding light on the importance of recognizing and celebrating the strength and endurance of women. My hope is that these sculptures resonate with viewers, offering a profound connection to the strength that has always defined women and continues to drive our society forward.

Artist Biography

Cindy Avroch is a multi-talented artist whose first love was always drawing, painting, and sculpting, despite being a trained dancer. While other little girls played with Barbie dolls, Cindy carried a sketchbook, pencils, and an eraser. She earned a degree in textile design from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City and studied at Winchester School of Art in England.

Cindy worked as a studio artist and art director in New York City’s fashion industry, with her designs appearing in major department stores nationwide. She collaborated with The Walt Disney Co., Warner Bros., United Media, and Nickelodeon, creating licensed print collections that tripled sales.

Leaving the fashion industry to care for her special needs son, Cindy became a stay-at-home mom and launched a new venture from home. She designed fine art lighting and decoupage tabletop accessories, leading to commissions from the Chicago and Longwood Botanical Gardens, The Newseum in Washington, DC, and 13 aquariums across the U.S., with her artwork selling in high-end gift and home décor stores.

Returning to her true passion for fine art, Cindy’s work celebrates both the real and the imaginative. Her attention to detail, precision, and color balance with the fluidity of a dancer. Believing that great abstract painters must master traditional techniques first, Cindy constantly innovates her work with new methods and mediums.

Cindy lives in Dallas, Texas, with her husband, Michael, her younger son, and her studio-mate puppies, Lenny and Lucy. You can find them at her studio in the Design District from Monday to Friday.
