Itzel Aguilar:

Itzel Aguilar (b. Georgetown, USA, 1988) is a visual artist based part time in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and Delaware. She attended the Delaware College of Art and Design in 2009 and was self-taught from thereafter. Aguilar expresses her Mexican and indigenous identity, mental health and healing journey through various mixed media techniques.

"My work in progress dives into the ongoing research of the book “The Natural History of the soul in Ancient Mexico” and the many layers of how the Mexica’s viewed the soul through different representations. Yolia is one term the Nahuatl used to describe the soul. As I am still continuing to dissect my reading, I decided to start combining my own deep rooted experiences while observing and learning Mexico City’s culture into my work.

The contemporary nature of the city and its bright palette, allowed me to explore materials, colors and paper cutting. My objective is to share how the soul is transparent yet sometimes hidden. As memories start to resurface, I find myself asking questions of what if and why me? In the end, I always trust spirit to guide me towards my happiness even when moments in time feel unsightly and uncomfortable during the journey.

Así que, ¿te animas a este viaje?(So, are you up for this journey?)

All proceeds go directly to The Sula Society and its mission to rescue and provide care, medical treatment, and loving homes for over 300 abandoned and abused dogs in Puerto Vallarta.

Every bid helps - Please share this auction item with those you think may be interested!
