Arantxa Solis Pozos was born in 1990 in Cali, Colombia. She is a Mexican artist who studied at the Faculty of Architecture of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), complementing her academic training at l’École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Paris La Villette. Her current profession is focused on the visual arts, particularly painting and drawing. Her artistic development began in the realm of figurative art, including portraits and nature, which led her to study and delve into forms, volumes, and the behavior of color.
This exploration guided her towards a more abstract style of painting, where a essence of formal observation and landscape prevails.
Her work has been exhibited at Salon ACME (Mexico City, 2022), JO-HS art gallery (Mexico City, 2022), Festival ABC Zona Maco (Baja California, 2023), En Blanco Art (Los Cabos, 2024), Galeria Gotxicoa (Monterrey, 2023), and West Coast Arts and Crafts (San Francisco, USA,2022)
Her painting practice began with figurative representations, developed through drawing studies focusing on landscapes, places, nature, and figures, leading to a particular attention to volume and color. Her current painting is a constant result and experiment in the gradation of light, tonalities, and color management, continuously exploring how colors interact within the artwork itself and in communication with the outside world. This chromatic landscape relates to the viewer, evoking sensations, visions, and memories for those who contemplate it. She observes attentively the forms, constructions, and nuances of the natural world, transforming them into specific and sensory abstractions. The use of oil as a material applied traditionally on canvas with brushes provides freedom of movement and color malleability, resulting in harmony and an inherent spirituality that invites contemplation. The palette employed seamlessly merges colors, both extracting and subtracting, creating an artistic experience that is less overtly expressive but profoundly meditative.
