Pintoras Mexicanas

Adriana Peña

Adriana Peña is a Chicago-based artist who was born in Mexico. Upon her arrival to the USA, she experimented with many new American trends but never lost her strong Mexican roots. Seeking to calm her deep longing for her homeland, she experimented with writing, modeling, photography, Digital Art, hand illustration, embroidery, and painting on a personal level; but it was not until 2013 after an invitation, that she began to show her work in public and at many local events. She is now dedicated to support her community in Chicago. Although her work is inspired largely by the love of México, it is also an expression of her personal belief and admiration as well as respect and love for nature. These elements are an essential part of her current works of art.

Alma Dominguez

She has been a visual artist for more than two decades, working with different techniques and materials, on metal, paper, or canvas, with mixed techniques. Domínguez is a psychologist with a Masters in Social Science. Her journey throughout the areas mentioned above have had a major influence in her artwork. Her paintings seek to raise political, social and environmental awareness, the female figure is very present, interested in highlighting the importance of women in all areas of our society.

I am a self taught artist born and raised in Mexico City. Art has been for me a form of self care and mindfulness to deal with the stress of being a full time mother of two boys with Autism.

Fatima Melendez

Fatima was born in Presidio, Texas in 1979. She lived her first years of life in a mining town named La perla Chihuahua. At the age of 12 years she moved along with her family to the city of Ojinaga, Chihuahua.

Her immersion in the world of painting undoubtedly comes from her interest in artistic and plastic expression. In the early years of her career, she had a clear preference for equestrian themes, born of dealing with these friendly animals for family reasons and motivated by the plasticity of their muscles, their strength, their loyalty, the experienceable friendship of their dedication in a hug. She is attracted by the stridency of the colors similar to the distillates in the desert space. In her work there is also all the influence of ethnic art from southwestern United States. Another dominant theme is dancers, motivated by the movement or the wake of their trajectory when they dance, their elegance and bearing. She in general has been seduced by the human figure and the oil painting technique. But at this time, abstract art begins to displace other expressive forms and in the same way she has explored other painting techniques such as acrylic, pastel or mixed media because they are more functional than oil when it comes to results, and watercolor for being more rugged and for its poetic essentiality.

Tania Magallon

Tania nacio en la Ciudad de México y estudié arte en la Academia de San Carlos y en La ENPEG (Escuela Nacional de Pintura Escultura y Grabado) La Esmeralda. Complete mi Licenciatura en Artes integrando estudios en Psicología en la Universidad Estatal de Nueva York. Actualmente curso una maestría en psicoterapia. Por medio de mi trabajo busco adentrarme en la simbología de la transformación humana. El uso constante de elementos alquímicos en mi obra, representan la transmutación de la conciencia, el dolor, el gozo, la libertad, el renacimiento, la muerte. Aunando estos elementos a las tradiciones de mis ancestros y mis raíces. Y aunque esto está expuesto desde mi perspectiva pictórica, las imágenes son una invitación al espectador a usar su propia percepción. Así se completa el significado de la expresión artística como parte del proceso creativo.

Yazmin Belcerra

Artista Mexicana, Orgullosa Coahuilense.

El primer amor... “La pintura”, que me ha acompañado por los últimos 20 años. Al primer contacto me enamore de su textura, su olor y lo más maravilloso de lo q mis manos podían crear en un lienzo.

Mi principal objetivo en el arte es expresar lo que veo, lo que siento, para compartirle al mundo como vacío mis emociones, vivencias, dejando a la artista transparente y plasmando esa intensidad con la q vivo, siento, amo y pinto... Disfrutando así cada vez que alguien adopta una pieza de mis obras..

Mi mano es la continuidad de mi corazón, creando así una obra que cuando llega al climax lo ultimo de mi queda en una firma...!!!
