Gabriella was born in Mexico City. She learned the path to abstraction and composition during her infancy, playing at her father's architecture and design studio, which followed the latest tendencies of the 60's and 70's, like Op Art and Geometric abstraction.

"I grew up in a fantasyland, populated with artists, artisans and designers and with access to a diversity of materials and an art library, a world of creativity, color and shapes, as my playground"

This is reflected in her work where fantasy and surrealism come together in her abstract and geometric compositions.  She continues playing with shapes and color, now taken from nature and her surroundings through photography and digital art.

Through her art, Gabriella invites us to submerge ourselves in a world of color, perpetual play, imagination and wonder.

Inspiration

"I find my inspiration in our surroundings, from the smallest detail of a cactus, to light reflections on a metal table after the rain". 

 "Exploring the world, nature's shapes and colors lure me to get closer, observe, explore and capture them with my camera, taking them with me like a treasure. Back in my studio, infinite possibilities reveal themselves as I play with light, shadows, colors and shapes until discovering how they come together in new creations".

Career highlights

With deep roots in Mexico, I am greatly influenced by our ancient cultures, stone patterns and geometric designs, magnificent temples and pyramids, textile patterns, ceramics and popular art. 

I received my formal education at the Corcoran Gallery of Art and Design in Washington D.C, and Composition with Trinka Margua Simon at the Smithsonian Institute.

International Portfolio reviews and critiques, and working with the amazing team at the Baga06 Gallery in Mexico City,  provide ongoing challenges to my workflow.
