Valeria Piña
I usually create several works inspired by Mexican culture, as I am fascinated by paying tribute to the visual and spiritual richness of my country, drawing inspiration from its pre-Hispanic worldview and other characteristic symbols of my culture. Each piece I create is my way of keeping our identity alive and sharing it with the world.
I also create various works related to sacred art. I find it fascinating how society admires and venerates these images, and how people can even feel an emotional attachment due to their great historical symbolism.
Additionally, I am greatly inspired by classical art, specifically Rococo and Mannerism, because their pictorial characteristics include saturated colors, symbolism, and details in their compositions, which I enjoy implementing in my own art.
I primarily use the oil painting technique for my pictorial work and the techniques of etching, aquatint, engraving, linocut, and lithography for my graphic work.
