Maricela del Rio
The colorful side of my life
Biography
"My preferred technique is working with acrylics, I didn't study fine arts,
I am a wild Mexican artist"
I have a Degree as a Fashion Designer
Celebrated for an exotic original style defined by brilliant coloured designs and paintings. I started designing jewelry combined with my artwork in my 30's.
Soon I opened my first store in Cancun, Mexico.
In 2016, I opened my second store-atelier in Brussels, Belgium.
" I wanted to integrate a Gallery together with my atelier in Brussels
to expose my art and now this dream came true"
" Being an artist was my only dream when I was growing up " .
I like the viewer to be able to take a little section of my paintings, the background, body, face etc... and find something interesting in each part.
" So far I have not participated in other galleries or exhibitions but in my mine."
February 2019 my art workshops began.
"I want to share this amazing world of colors while we enjoy a glass of wine".
And hey! I'm a "YOGUI".
