MYRNA
QUIÑONEZ
I am a Mexican Artist living and working in Bristol, UK. I have a BA in Fine Arts from Guanajuato University, Mexico.
I explore landscape, repetitive patterns in nature, traditional oil painting and the impact that new media, screens and technology have on us, changing how we perceive the world. As a result my paintings look like images edited on a computer. Absence, fragmentation and movement are characteristics of my work.
I am interested in the act of painting outside, getting involved with materials and nature. I use my studio as a tool to modify my paintings.
I have shown my work in over 50 group/solo exhibitions and competitions, I have recently been awarded the DYCP Grant.
Supported Using Public Funding by Arts Council England.
