    SUFFERING is through suffering. Let pain rob you of all the things you don't need and dreams may be realized in the process...

Artist Statement

Teresa is an interdisciplinary Mexican born artist based in New York City who focuses on her unique experiences as a young woman trying to navigate through the modern age in the endless pursuit of authenticity, creation, and healing. 

While the subject matter is presenting a unique and personal experience or emotion, these scenes appear dream-like as she accentuates the realms between reality and fantasy. 

Through the use of vibrant and saturated colors and feminine undertones, she explores the human experience through the unique lense of her generation, Gen Z.

Although she primarily works in the traditional craft of oil painting with extensive knowledge on its history, she tells her story through many mediums such as photography, sculpture, and fashion. In her work, she often draws inspiration from Art History, her Mexican culture and religious imagery in her work through a contemporary lense. Combining these elements, she creates work that is extremely personal and introspective in hopes of promoting a sense of self reflection and self acceptance.
