Marianela de la Hoz (born June 14, 1956) is a Mexican painter who depicts family life, couples, and Catholicism from a humanistic perspective.
Biography
De la Hoz was born in Mexico City but moved to San Diego in 2012 when she was 40 years old. She earned a bachelor's degree in graphic design from Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana in Mexico City. She worked as a graphic designer for ten years before she decided to become a painter. Her passion for art began at an early age but it wasn't until she turned 25 that she decided to focus on creating paintings instead of digital graphics. Her idea of magic realism has been labeled "white violence" due to her use of black humor and fantasy to demonstrate the darker side of humanity. She struggles with expressing herself efficiently but her art conveys everything she has to say.
