Maritza Torres
Visual Art – Los Angeles
BORN IN Utah in 1983, as the eldest daughter of a large Mexican-American family
Maritza has been given a very unique view of life. After working in the Fashion Industry
for over 7 years she is now making the conscious effort to be engrossed by the art
and not the market.
With her work she wants to create a new persona for the female. Color and bold
lines create a psychotropic world, of feminine heroes. Her intentions for all her
pieces are to reveal the ferocity and mischievous nature of the female sex. Traits
that are mostly ignored or suppressed by mainstream culture’s portrayal of the
ideal woman. Combining this theme with tribal motifs and patterns she brings the
viewer to a new place. Where the distant past unites with the edge of the future.
Lets embrace the unknown and each amazing culture the world has to offer
