El Sol Saldra

My work is a collection of acrylic paintings on canvas that explores the power of transformation, renewal, and finding beauty within hardship.

My series, El Sol Saldrá (“The Sun Will Rise”), reflects the emotions and experiences that have shaped my personal journey. The monarch butterfly, a recurring symbol in this series, represents migration, hope, renewal, and beauty. Each piece captures a stage of emotion tied to the feeling of existing between worlds — of not fully belonging here or there, yet finding strength and identity within that in-between space.

The rich, vibrant backgrounds in my paintings echo the colors of the sunrise and sunset—symbols of Esperanza (Hope). Through each work, I embrace the reminder that even when the sun sets, it always rises again.
