Irene Cabal

Artist from Southern California. I studied art at California State University, Fullerton with a concentration in Illustration. I was never really exposed to the different mediums of art until I went to college. I thought art was only made with a pencil, paper, color pencils, and markers. In college, I was exposed to a variety of different materials and really enjoyed exploring and creating.

I love mixed martial arts, personally I have trained in Brazilian Jiujitsu and wanted to incorporate my love for martial arts in my paintings.

Recently, I have been interested in abstract painting. Growing up, I never really understood abstraction, but as I venture deeper into the art world, I have grown to appreciate the colors, textures, and composition of abstract paintings and I personally feel like it is extremely therapeutic. I currently have watercolor abstract paintings, but will be creating a series of oil and acrylic in the future.
