Over The Hats Painting

Mexican-born artist based in Brooklyn, New York. Marcela Avelar’s work explores the politics of association by challenging the framework of self-identity through perspective and context. Avelar’s quasi-realistic , mixed media technique creates subtly altered expectations of separateness and singleness, daring the viewer to question conventional frames of reference. By inviting a secondary viewpoint, she blurs lines between the essential nature of the individual and the collective. Profile Image by Mikaela Gauer
