Artist Statement:
Vanessa is a London-based
artist, having moved down from
Manchester six years ago. She
was originally born in Mexico,
and was raised there for five
years by her mother, a
professional ceramic artist,
whilst her father traveled for
work. An artistic eye was
in-built at a very early age
as she sat and painted with
her mother from the age of
three. This, together with the
bold, bright colours of Mexico
have inspired most of her work
today.
Vanessa pursued her artistic
interests through school, art
college and university and now
is an Art Director in
Advertising. She has been
painting along side her Art
Directing job for the past
seven years, and her main
ambition is for her art to be
known and recognised one day.
She tries to incorporate her
artistic influence in her Art
Direction, but whilst her work
helps sell the product, is
pleasing to the eye and has
occasionally won an awards,
there are still has many
constraints, and the result is
rarely organic. These
paintings are her outlet of
pure creative freedom. And she
enjoys this very much.
Her influences are mainly from
Mexican art, Pop art and
various illustrators such as

| Your Personal Biography |
I am a new artist on the scenes of London, though I have exhibited pieces in galleries in Manchester’s Portico Gallery and Whitworth Art Gallery.
I have spent the past few years mainly expressing my passion for art through advertising as an Art Director (I have included a few pieces from my advertising portfolio, for your interest), whilst painting on the side. Now I am looking to make this more serious.
Most of my work is abstract, though occasionally I paint observational pieces. I love to experiment with different mediums, eg. broken mirror, beads, polystyrene, and mainly paint using acrylic, though I am about to explore oil paint.
My inspiration comes from nature, feelings, conversations and other artists. I love the freedom that comes with having a blank canvas and your thoughts. When working on advertisements creativity can be hindered by a brief, and thoughts of others. So painting gives me freedom, and I tend to use this freedom as much as I can.
