Mariell Guzman
Mariell Guzman is a mixed media painter, muralist, illustrator and installation artist currently based in Dallas, Texas. She was born in Michoacán, Mexico. Her Mexican heritage has deeply influenced her relationship and interaction with art. Her personal experience with the richness of color and diversity of artistic expression in Mexico intricately sculpted the development of her creative process. She pursued a Bachelors of Fine Arts degree from The University of Texas at Austin. Recently, she's partnered up with clients such as KIA, Facebook and Dickies. Her bold and colorful murals can be found throughout DFW.
Artist Statement
Materiality, process and translation drive my work. Through a continuous intuitive interaction with materials, I develop a series of space contained yet chaotic environments that resemble anthropomorphized natural phenomena. I construct them by multi-layered visceral marks being reinterpreted and transformed through analog and digital techniques. Throughout the process, I simultaneously explore the interaction of dynamic forms, space and color. I aim for the ongoing translation of visual information to develop in a similar manner to the transience of natural processes, therefore creating the illusion of the static imagery to appear to be constantly growing as well as expanding and contracting.
