EXHIBITIONS & ACHIEVEMENTS
Marcela Solana (MARCH) | b.1988 Guadalajara, Mexico
As an artist I create intricate images of simple, everyday objects with the use of acrylics.
I use representative elements of popular culture, I play with the subjective interpretation that the mind makes of the collective imagination and I recreate them in a new one, with a strong Mexican identity through a saturated and vibrant palette creating a fluid, refreshing, innovative and warm work.
I love to see the intricacy in simpler objects, yet find simplicity within the intricate objects. Painting is for me to capture the daily life of the object to highlight it in its particular beauty in a conscious way.
