  • Tania Marmolejo’s wide-eyed figuration draws focus to the emotive faces, giving the female figure autonomy and drawing new perspectives on the cultural identity as a female. A Dominican born, Swedish, American female artist, illustrator, and designer Marmolejo draws from her own Dominican and Scandinavian identity to create bold, enticing figurative paintings. Bright, expressive colors and depictions of nature are combated by more morose shades, muddling together these influences and the dramatic play of light and color from the Renaissance and Baroque movements and creating an enticing yet eerie scene.
