Marcela Mariel Montemayor (1990) Monterrey, Nuevo León, México.
Nostalgia, childhood memories, and bright colors are some of the elements that can be found in my work. Through my paintings, I usually represent objects such as balloons, food, and candy wrappers that evoke a cultural significance and emotional connection to my personal experiences and upbringing. I decide to utilize those elements to create a sense of familiarity and nostalgia for the viewer, inviting them to reflect on their own memories and emotions. My aim is to create connections and shared experiences through my art.
My passion for painting has allowed me to share my creations with audiences across the world. As a professional artist, I've had the opportunity to showcase my work in different locations, including Mexico, the United States, India, and Italy. I'm proud to say that my pieces are now part of private collections around the globe. In addition to that, I have had the opportunity to participate in several painting competitions in my home country, which has been an incredible experience.
