Mayte Alquicira

b. 1991 Mexico City, Mexico | Lives and works in Dallas, TX

Mayte Alquicira is a Mexican-born, Dallas-based mixed media artist whose work explores the balance between structure and surrender through abstraction. Influenced by the women of Abstract Expressionism, she approaches each piece as both a visual and emotional study in control, curiosity, and expansion.

Raised between Mexico City and Morelia, Alquicira developed an early fascination with color and the way it communicates emotion beyond words. Her academic path led her to study Arts and Culture in Rome, where the convergence of classical balance and contemporary freedom shaped her understanding of art as both reflection and release.

Her process merges intention with intuition. Each work begins with intuitive color exploration that evolves into deliberate choices, creating layers of acrylics, inks, pastels and oil sticks over canvas. These layers embody how she challenges her own internal rhythm, learning to let the medium lead while maintaining a sense of direction. In recent months, she has begun incorporating fabric and hand stitching as a tribute to her mother’s craft, weaving memory, texture, and tactile emotion into her practice.
