Serena Lizette Ornelas is a multi-disciplinary artist based in El Paso, Texas. She received her BFA in Painting from UTEP in 2023.
Her solo show titled The Red Writing on the Wall is a humorous confrontation with fear, anxiety and the costly search for peace in current day USA. Her show is inspired tonally by bubble gum dystopia and visually by cartoon violence and the surrealist masters. Essentially, we’re talking about a wonderland with all of the confusion, bright colors, and absurd scale minus resolve.
Serena’s show opens at La Mecha Gallery on Saturday, November 30, 2024.
