Issis Macias (b. 1977, Los Angeles) approaches her artwork as an extension of her inner world, where each piece visually represents her physical and emotional engagement with the creative process. Her abstract paintings, characterized by vibrant colors and spontaneous compositions, emerge from a deeply intuitive practice.
In this exhibition, Macias draws viewers in with dynamic forms and unexpected markings, inviting them to explore a realm of personal interpretation—an encounter with the "magic" woven into the fabric of everyday life.
Through intuitive abstraction, Macías transcends self-imposed boundaries, incorporating unconventional materials like large, raw canvases adorned with steel grommets. Her use of acrylics applied with rollers and silicone wedges results in overlapping layers of color, while pastel markings trace her full-body movements, each stroke extending as far as her arm allows. This expansive, spontaneous approach to painting creates a sense of floating in ethereal spaces where freedom and expression reign.
Macías invites viewers to embrace the unknown, find meaning in the interplay of color and form. The relationship between artist and audience is essential, transforming the act of viewing into a shared experience that resonates on both a personal and universal level.
