The artist Lourdes Murguía Pozzi was born on August 28, 1955 in México City. Since a very young age she discovered her passion for painting. With her studies in graphic design she made a profession out of her enthusiasm. She has lived in Guadalajara for the last 28 years where she has been able to develop herself as a full-time painter and sculpture. Several exhibitions have witness her life dedication to art. The subjects in her paintings are mainly human figures both abstract and figurative. The objective is the expression of feelings so that the views can connect with them. The main techniques she uses is acrylic and mixed on canvas, applied in diverse ways. Sometimes the acrylic is dissolved in water to create transparencies in varied intensities.

Now a days I try to fuse abstract elements with the figures so that they become one with the background" "I like to work freely, to represent human movement; using transparencies that produces different depths in the painting" "The technique I mainly use is the acrylic, sometimes mixed with charcoal and pastels. I like to create clusters using marble powder and sands to generate volume" "My aim is the communication with the viewer through the expression of my feelings" "To abstract human figure to the minimal strokes without loosing its spirit and emotion is the biggest challenge" "The movement in these paintings makes allusion to the joy and passion for life".
