Ana Benavides

I am constantly experimenting and creating works with emotional, spiritual and energetic intensity. Being born and raised in Mexico, biodiversity has been part of my life. I am deeply inspired by nature and I am constantly translating the energy and emotion when being in these magical places.

My compositions are created through gestural brush marks, using my body, that are intuitively constructed and emotionally charged. I use a free setting process to capture and materialize intensity and feelings through daily experimentation. Physical texture is also an important part of my practice, It enables me to evoke primal emotional response and to translate the atmosphere of certain scenes.
