Susana Casillas (born in Guadalajara, Jalisco) is a Mexican visual artist internationally recognized for her portraiture artwork that displays influences of impressionism and figurative art. Her work has been displayed at numerous international art venues in Mexico, the US, China, and France. [1]
Artistic development
Casillas started her career as a self-taught artist. [2]Since her childhood she experimented with watercolors and acrylic painting, later she added oil painting as one of her preferred media. About the concept of her work she stated in an interview:
"In my work I try to communicate the idea of duality. I like painting faces. I sort of make two fusions of them in my portraits. They represent the mental or earthy realm, and the spiritual one, which I call 'instinct'. I think if people were able to listen to their instinct, there wouldn't be so much evil, there would be more love; it's something ever present within, like the soul and consciousness. It tells us what is good or wrong, it also tells us when we need to be alert. I've read a lot on these subjects, they have really defined me".[1]
