""Mis Corazones Lila" "My Lilac Hearts"" Artwork

Cynthia Pareja Dubin (Lima, Peru, 1986) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work delves into the intricate interplay of identity, memory, and the unfolding subconscious. Inspired by her diverse cultural background and personal experiences, Pareja Dubin creates visually rich compositions that invite viewers to contemplate the profound relationship between art, the human spirit, and the world we inhabit.

Her abstract compositions are distinguished by an assertive palette that conveys emotional depth, dynamic forms and layers of meaning. Within this practice, she unfolds immersive worlds, intricately combining her abstract painting with a parallel vital abstract illustration practice to create distinctive visual narratives, fostering connection and offering an escape from the pressures of daily life.

Pareja Dubin's career as an artist began with a BA in Graphic Design from the Universidad de Palermo in Argentina, where she was awarded 1st prize in editorial design in 2011.

Returning to Peru, she served as a teacher, thesis judge, and marketing designer at the Peruvian Institute of Art and Design. During this period, her fine art practice also gained recognition, with her work being exhibited at the International UN Art Fair.

Cynthia moved to the United States in 2013, where she furthered her studies at the Art Students League of New York, expanding her expertise in abstract painting with Larry Poons and printmaking with Michael Pelletieri.

In 2021, she was awarded the fully funded Liquitex "Just Imagine" residency.
