Artwork by Cynthia Ligeros

Cynthia Ligeros is inspired by the vibrant, ever-changing urban landscapes surrounding us, contrasted against the unique and pristine beauty of the natural world. She approaches each painting with a single driving emotion. In the beginning, she creates an under-painting that allows the discovery of naturally organic forms on the canvas. Through an artistic dialogue with the painting, she composes and unifies the organic forms, until a completed abstract painting develops, inspired by the cycles, emotions, and equilibrium of our ever-changing environment. This layering technique mirrors the larger theme of her work: the hard edges of our structured world contrasted against the organic contours of the natural world. On a metaphorical level, the art of Cynthia Ligeros explores the idea of the deeper subconscious self unifying with the higher self, to make us whole. Unlike ordinary murals, mine are never printed by a machine. I use only artisanal hand tools and traditional techniques to paint each mural by hand, one tile at a time. Each painted tile is then carefully fired in a kiln to permanently fuse the glaze and render a lustrous finish. It’s a time-consuming process, but the result is a beautiful, long-lasting, one-of-a-kind mural handcrafted just for you. Customize any of our existing murals in a new size or color to perfectly fit your home. Or let me create something entirely new based on your photo or inspiration.
