Adreina Giron
Biography
Andreina Giron is a visual artist from Inglewood, who likes to make her Mexican and Salvadorian roots be known in her work. Graduated from California State University Dominguez Hills with a Bachelors in Art. Giron is currently an art assistant in South Central and has also been part of a Curatorial Internship with artist in residency at the Museum of Latin American Art.
Giron is inspired every day through her neighborhood, daily commute to work when she sees buildings/businesses that hold a special sentiment to her, and her memories growing up. These daily experiences are important especially because they are constantly changing and Giron does not want her or her community to forget them.
She strives to create art that will allow others to have a deep connection. It is also safe space that allows her to show vulnerability. Her fears also inspire her to make art and allow her to communicate those feelings visually. The constant reappearing of bugs and insects in her paintings are symbolic of constant anxiety. It is hard at times to speak out loud about traumas and the art speaks for her.
