About the Artist
Deyanira Feliz was born in the Dominican Republic and began her artistic career at an early age. In 2007, she studied Creativity and Management, and for the past 25 years she has built a distinguished career as a photographer, producer, and director of creative and audiovisual projects. She has collaborated with renowned media outlets and international advertising agencies such as Partner Ogilvy & Mather, Comunique, and Pages BBDO, among others.
That same year, she was the photographer behind the book “Eva Naked” by writer Patricia Romano. In 2011, she presented the conference Photopoetry: Letters of Light at the Youth Space of the XIV International Book Fair. Throughout her career, she has developed and directed numerous photography and audiovisual initiatives, including workshops, conferences, and competitions across multiple categories.
In 2013, she moved to the United States and pursued studies in Digital Photography at Anne Arundel Community College, where she received her certification in April 2015.
Today, she is the CEO of Genica LLC, where she also serves as Creative Director of Genica Magazine, a publication dedicated to art, marketing, and entrepreneurship with distribution across Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia (DMV). The digital version is available at www.genicamagazine.com, and the magazine is also present on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, and Spotify.
“We believe in Latin talent. We love the idea of creating inclusive spaces for young people to do what they are most passionate about. Artists are born with their gift, and we want parents to make us their allies in guiding their children artistically. They are the future of our country, our nation, and we need them emotionally stable so they can grow in a healthy way,” shares Deyanira about her vision for youth artistic training.
In recognition of her leadership, she was honored with the Poderosas Award (2023) and the Dominicana de Buena Voluntad en la Diáspora Award (2024) by Banco de Reservas de la República Dominicana. In 2025, she presented the talk “The Art of Real Estate Photography” at the annual real estate investors’ conference Se Vale Soñar, where she was also recognized for her educational initiatives in photography. She is currently developing PowerTalk: Turning Art Into Business, a platform designed to promote art and creative entrepreneurship.
