Allegra Pacheco: Painting

Allegra Pacheco (1986, Costa Rica) is an award-winning documentary filmmaker and internationally recognized multi-disciplinary artist whose work has been exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide. She received her BFA in Photography at School of Visual Arts, New York, and an MFA in Visual Art from Wimbledon College of Art, University of Arts of London. Her work is currently on view in Accretion: Latin American Women Artists at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art and Strike Fast, Dance Lightly: Artists on Boxing at the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach, Florida. Imaginary Landscapes are graphically striking abstract works inspired by the vistas of the High Desert of California and the scenic backdrops of Costa Rican tropics. With a playful symbolism and saturated palette reminiscent of artist Yayoi Kusama, these acrylic paintings on handmade paper have a timeless and joyful quality.
