Instantly disarming and wonderful to behold, Gabriela Epstein’s painting features gentle, layered brushwork that engenders a soothing atmosphere perfect for viewers’ contemplation. Drawing inspiration from her native Mexico, the importance of color is the vanguard of her style and in concert with concise line-work, saturates her painting with a sense of emotion and drama. She has a magnificent knowledge of composition as well, often working in diptychs and triptychs, Epstein’s work is identifiable for her supple, geometric configurations.

Born in Mexico City, Epstein is a self-taught artist, drawing her artistic inspiration directly from life events and transmitting them through an exceedingly individual style of painting. “Everything I know, do or express in a canvas is a result of my own personal experience,” Epstein explains. She has educated others in the arts for the last ten years, sharing her ideas about painting while learning from others’ perspectives has been a very positive influence in her artistic life. Epstein lives and works in Mexico City.
