βIβd like the spectators to observe carefully the details on my paintings and drawings. Iβd like them to see the glances, the suppressed smiles, whatβs underneath the clothes or the textures,β says Thelma Lugo (@thelmadibujos), a Mexican artist who lives in McAllen, Texas.
Through her art, Thelma wants to reassure her national identity. βI love Mexico and its gorgeous colors, and I try to soak myself in every shape and every color so that you can feel my Mexican essence.β
In her work itβs easy to spot a mix of textures and materials. βA lot of my paintings keep little details to be discovered by the spectator and maybe they can find something that connects them to the piece. I also hope that they can find in the colors, the vibrant message of every character.β
Thelma usually paints faces that reflect her mood. βPeople say I draw myself, but I donβt see the resemblance,β she says. βIβve done male figures but I always return to my female figures. Maybe itβs because I believe women are very strong.β
