Artist Statement
Elizabeth Munzón’s work explores personal and cultural narratives through figurative painting and printmaking, drawing inspiration from Mexican mythology, familial bonds, and everyday experiences. She is interested in how identity is shaped by memory, symbolism, and storytelling, often blending these elements to create visually layered works that invite reflection and emotional connection. Through both oil painting and linocut printmaking, Munzón examines recurring themes of personal relationships, nostalgia, and heritage, using the physicality of each medium to emphasize color, form, and gesture. Her practice is grounded in honoring the past while reimagining its presence in contemporary life.
