Andrea Valentina Murillo Saenz
Artist & Textile Designer
A Honduran-American artist and textile designer constructing vulnerable, whimsical, and sometimes crude worlds through imagery and sculptures.
Through both a melancholic and playful lens, I create art to give expression to the small things in life, like the young man on the cusp of adulthood building sandcastles in pure ecstasy or the group of friends having a picnic which reminds me so much of The Bathers by Paul Cézanne.
It's a glimpse into a random page of my journal. These worlds are eclectic, fanciful, and full of curiosity. Digesting society's fixed nature to then spit back out as cutesy and eccentric artwork.
They contemplate death, heartbreak, sex, fluffy clouds, kittens, spirituality, and more. Giving a name to what it's like to be alive while making space to not be taken too seriously.
