![]() Artist Ana Karelia Rios Estrada |
My name's Ana Karelia Rios Estrada.
I was born in Cuba and I have lived in Mexico for the past 6 years. Art and especially painting has been my greatest fascination since I was a child, having my father as a great teacher and having him as an example because he always has been a painter too.
Since elementary school I've participated in several painting contests and everything connected with it.
I've know many artists that have been a great influence to me and my work knowing techniques and forms that I can used in my career as an artist. I considerer myself a self-taught artist, thought I've taken several courses with other artists and art schools.
My way of painting on the paper or canvas is something very personal and there are almost never rules when following my work. It is absolutely free and sometimes it can be autobiographical. I paint what I feel and personally think that the real life becomes true when I do it because it is everything I carry inside and nothing is more important anymore .
I use several techniques to paint such as oil, watercolours, oil pastel, dry pastel, ink, acrylics, and mixed too. I also work with others materials like mud, wood, metal, etc.
I've done various showings in several galleries here in Mexico and I teach also in an art-school named "Rene Portocarrero" in honor to a great Cuban painter.
