Darinka Arones (she/her) is a Peruvian interdisciplinary artist and recent graduate of the Film and TV department at NYU Tisch School of the Arts. As an Andean immigrant, Arones is interested in showcasing portrayals of the emotional psychology process of migrating and adapting. In her art, she uses saturated colors to highlight the intensity of her homesickness, grief, and melancholy sentiments. She aims to understand the duality of experiences accompanying immigrants from different ethnicities and socioeconomic statuses.
Darinka’s Quechua background has motivated her to investigate the collectivity, perspective, and existence of her Andean identity and the Quechua language in Western culture.
