Aldanondo’s abstract work takes the viewer into a symphonic repertoire of visual expressions informed by the compositions of renowned music maestros, as well as contemporary music. In an energetic dance between lines and color, she guides the eye through a rhythmic journey. She often paints to music leading to a composition that embodies music into the visual realm.  She successfully weaves and translates her unique vision onto her canvases through a compelling linear, often colorful dynamics that reveal a physicality of the most abstract of all art forms: music.

Her figurative work draws inspiration from ancient art, mythology, and her own imagination using a simplifi color palette.  Intrigued by the possibilities of the unseen she explores a spiritual world and depicts it in her work thro the use of symbols from nature and celestial bodies.  Her work and her approach seek to celebrate female empowerment.

Aldanondo is a defies the norms and the stigma often associated with street artists as well as with women artists.  She seeks to address issues of marginalization and exclusion taking on an important social role by actively creating work in the public space.  She takes up space to create large abstract expressionist and figurative work in public.

She challenges the dominant art narratives and the concept of value and place. She takes this opportunity to educate the viewer. This is at the core of her performative active work in public.
She can often be found painting nonrepresentational work in the public spaces of SoHo, New York.
