Maria Cruz Porras Villegas

Maria Cruz Porras Villegas is a self-taught poet and painter who primarily uses acrylic on canvas or panel, forging her path through self-education and direct contact with other artists. Her technique is distinguished by its abstract style, where the brushstroke comes alive to capture memories, emotions, and the very essence of existence. Her works convey a whirlwind of intense feelings: pain, passion, nature, and the inexorable passage of time, transforming painting into living poetry that speaks and cries out from the depths of her soul.
For Villegas, there is no boundary between poetry and painting: the painting is the visual poem and the verse is the written stroke. In this space, he invites you to explore that universe where feeling becomes matter and emotion, language.
