This Color-Obsessed Artist from Mexico Will Blow Your Mind
Instagram is our go-to for many things: food porn, OOTDs and tattoos. It’s also our favorite place to discover emerging artists. Our latest #InstaCrush? Lourdes Villagómez (aka @lourdes_villagomez), a bright and bold Mexico City-based artist who has captured the attention of our geometric-obsessed hearts.
Villagómez (who has a background in graphic design) quit her day job so she could focus full-time on her passion for painting. “I love color, and the fact that it is so Mexican. One of my main topics is Mexican culture and traditions. In my country, that goes hand in hand with color,” Villagómez told Instagram.
On her feed, you’ll find everything from action shots of her painting to colorful brushes and lively, artistic pics.
What we love about Villagómez’s art is her mastery of merging traditional and modern styles together in a bright and beautiful way. Her art is completely wild and absolutely mesmerizing. Check out a few of our fave paintings below.
