Visual Artist
PAINTER - digital illustrator - MODEL
Liliane Avalos is a contemporary visual artist, an acrylic and watercolor painter, digital illustrator, and art model. She was born and raised in Weslaco, Texas, USA and now resides in Bali, Indonesia, SE Asia.
In 2012 she earned her Bachelors in Fine Art with a concentration in Painting from Texas State University of San Marcos.
Her Hispanic cultural heritage has always manifested its way into her work through vibrant colors, sentimental portraits of family and friends, and an ongoing self evolving exploration of symbolism and allegories.
Liliane is heavily influenced by the medieval Latin Christian theory and practice of reflection on mortality, Memento Mori. Merged with the Latin American holiday “Dia de los Muertos”, the Day of the Dead celebrates the lives of the deceased. Through her art she acknowledges death as an un fearful natural part of the human experience, a continuum with birth, childhood, and growing up. the subject matter may be heavy for some, the dynamic and energetic colors offer a more optimistic way of “looking on the bright side”.
Although she no longer lives in the Rio Grande Valley she still recognizes her roots and will always return to her hometown to enjoy an authentic homemade Mexican meal at her grandma Lola's.
