Mary Gonzalez

Mary Gonzalez is a very talented and promising emerging artist from Guadalajara, Mexico. She is quickly establishing herself as a major talent in the world of graphic and web design, and she has also recently garnered significant critical acclaim for her very personal, provocative and expressive photography.

Growing up with the rich cultural and artistic traditions of Guadalajara, Gonzalez has always felt art to be her greatest passion and purpose in her life. Her earliest art works were simple yet stunning pieces of vector art and digital paintings, while her more recent digital works are said to possess an abstract nature with a decidedly dark and grungy, post-modern flair. Gonzalez began taking photographs at age 18, and quickly proved to be a natural. Her wide-ranging photographic work ranges from stark self-portraits and candid shots of local underground musicians and nocturnal scenesters to landscapes and natural subjects as well as more abstract and experimental works.

With the help of the web, the design and photography works of Gonzalez have begun to be recognized and lauded worldwide. Within the rapidly-growing online art communities, her artworks are now amongst the most popular on the web, and her popularity is quickly increasing.

Born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, México in 1987.
At a young age my father taught me how to draw and how to paint, my father is a very talented painter and like me he loves Landscapes.

I think I would never see art without thinking about my father, he is my major inspiration and teacher of life.
He taught me to love simple things and enjoy life the fullest.

Music is another one of my daily inspirations, I cannot go anywhere without listening to music.

I started working at a young age and had the opportunity to start working for a local publishing company where I started to learn photography by myself.

Alejandro Martínez, one of my best friends and teacher, taught me most of what I know about photography, and that is how my photography journey began at the age of 17.

My main subject in photography is nature, I'm inlove with mother earth.

I use photography as a means of self-expression-, to show the world that simple things can make life interesting.

The more we simplify our view, the more things are caught by the eye.
Details are part of my everyday life and I like to show them trough my work.
