MAGDALENA GUAJARDO
Magdalena Guajardo is a Mexican-American artist born in Monterrey, Mexico who lives and works in San Antonio, Texas. In her art studio, Guajardo creates contemporary figurative paintings with a touch of Magical Realism and Surrealism. Guajardo has studied art at Georgetown University in Washington, DC., at Southwest School of Art in San Antonio, TX., and currently is an MFA in Painting candidate at The University of Texas. For over 15 years she has created artwork that varies significantly in theme, though consistently explores themes of materialism and opulence, and the joy of living in her distinctive style full of color and light. Guajardo combines reality and fantasy, guiding the viewer into her passionate world. Her work can be described as poetic by the presence of flowers in many of her paintings; flowers that represent all the love, mystery, and beauty that surrounds us every day and everywhere.
