Marcela Montemayor

Marcela Montemayor is an artist from Mexico who is inspired by hyperrealism. She paints to awaken her viewers senses, especially taste. Although her paintings cannot envoke taste, she hopes her viewers endure the feeling of desire through sight. Marcela paints pop art objects, which have the ability to generate emotions of joy and take you back to your childhood. Her vibrant works emphasize on the delight of a treat and the overwhelming need to taste the sweetness. Metaphorically speaking, her paintings depict extending pleasure and suppressing pain & discomfort that restricts us. Marcela has held several solo and group exhibitions in Monterrey, Mexico.
