Gabriela Torres

Welcome! My name is Gabriela and I am a self taught multidisciplinary artist whose practice serves as a sanctuary from the emotional labor of the mental health field. My work is an intuitive study in "giving oneself grace," translating the weight of the day into a tactile exploration of memory and the desert landscape.

Rooted in a deep nostalgia for the raw textures of my childhood, I move fluidly between the expressive marks of oil pastels and the development of three-dimensional silhouettes. By allowing my fingertips to lead the process—whether through blending color or exploring sculptural form—I seek to capture a sense of restorative beauty. My "after hours" ritual is a sensory journey through intuition, honoring the human need to transform the heavy into the light.

Self taught.
