Hugo Mariño and Leilani Gastelum present Reflexiones (Self-Reflection)
Mariño’s abstract paintings reflect on three periods of his artistic journey. Mariño is from Venezuela and has exhibited his work internationally. First, there are abstract expressionist pieces, characterized by the intensity of the brushstroke and vibrant colors. Then, there is work that evokes an urban environment, featuring layered elements and graffiti, and finally, a primitive line work that recalls childhood doodles. Mariño titles this series, “From Expressive Gesture to Garabatos (Scribbles)”
Gastelum is an award-winning emerging artist who earned a BFA from ASU in 2023. Layering oil, acrylic, and watercolor with textile elements, she creates highly textured surfaces that symbolically represent the weight of memory and values. “[My] artwork is a dedication to self-love and visual exploration of a person’s extraordinary soul.” Her work prompts self-reflection, showing the impact of family values and the importance of embracing one’s true self.
