Gina Palmerin

Meet the talented Los Angeles based artist, Gina Palmerin. Gina is a self-taught artist and began her artistic journey at the age of sixteen when she was introduced to oil painting. She was immediately captured by the process and continued to experiment and teach herself.

Throughout her twenties, Gina experimented with several different influences and styles; early 20th century Mexican Murals, Mexicanidad, Art Noveau, Classicism, Surrealism and Pop Art. Her work has been primarily focused on the human face and figure.

Over time Gina has developed a unique style which has fused realism, classicism, expressionism and abstract art into one.

Gina is currently focused on creating and modernizing iconic classic works of art. “I strive to take the iconic and familiar and fuse it with fresh, design inspired, modern and inspirational visual ideas.”

Her childhood influences of her mother, a renowned doll artist are apparent in one of her recent collections, entiltled, Picture Day: The Icons. Reminiscent of an elementary school yearbook photo, this series features iconic artists, legendary actors and musicians painted into vibrant modern child portraits, with a slight attitude.
