Anamarina Avilés
VerifiedAnamarina Avilés is a painter with thirty-seven years of work behind her: seven solo exhibitions and more than a hundred group shows across Central America and the United States. She has worked in painting, sculpture, printmaking and engraving; today she paints in acrylic, oil and watercolour, and mixes techniques in some pieces, including figures cut from wood. Her subject is the stories of women and girls with sweet, nostalgic gazes, surrounded by organic detail. Nature is always in the picture: leaves, flowers, butterflies, birds. She wants each work to carry a spiritual charge of hope and to give off, in strong colour, a positive energy. The aim is to make spaces that feel encouraging, with faith in the future. Her first solo show was at Galería de Arte Saravia in San Salvador in 1995. Since then she has shown at Museo Forma, the Centro Cultural de España, DIVA Art Gallery and the MARTE art competition in El Salvador, and in Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and the United States, including the Mint Museum in Charlotte.
