Nancy Villarreal Santos was born in Monterrey Mexico. She creates her artwork from observation. Nancy studied design at ARTE AC. Her restlessness which is innate keeps her working on paper, wood and canvas, exploring different techniques and different mediums. Nancy’s goal is to portray a sense of strength, beauty, and balance through her posters, prints, and art. Each of her pieces contains groups of simple objects that are arranged in various compositions playing on the balance and weight of each element. She also plays with color to balance each composition and add to it some beauty and warmth. As an artist, she strives to create lyrical poetry using the expressive qualities of tone and color. Her images evoke a sense of timelessness, a contemplative mood, and tranquility. It is through this combination of compositional elements and materials that she strives for strength, beauty and balance. Nancy explores the 20th century’s inherited abstraction through her self-expression. She enjoys a very intimate creative process where she handles and manipulates the materials in a creative way.
Her work has been exhibited in many solo and group exhibitions, both within and outside Monterrey Mexico. It is the creativity with her medium that allows her to create pieces that represent her intentions most accurately. Many of her works have appeared in several permanent corporate collections. She has an amazing ability to capture the unique beauty, essence as well as the personality of her subjects. Her work is represented by several prestigious galleries. In all art exhibitions where she has participated, her pieces of artwork have been the center of attraction.
