Susana Casillas (born in Guadalajara, Jalisco) is a Mexican plastic artist internationally recognized for her portraiture artwork that displays influences of impressionism and figurative art. Her work has been displayed at numerous international art venues in Mexico, the United States, China, and France.
Artistic development.
Casillas started her career as a self-taught artist. Since her childhood she experimented with watercolors and acrylic painting, later she added oil painting as one of her preferred media. About the concept of her work she stated in an interview:
"In my work I try to communicate the idea of duality. I like painting faces. I sort of make two fusions of them in my portraits. They represent the mental or earthy realm, and the spiritual one, which I call 'instinct'. I think if people were able to listen to their instinct, there wouldn't be so much evil, there would be more love; it's something ever present within, like the soul and consciousness. It tells us what is good or wrong, it also tells us when we need to be alert. I've read a lot on these subjects, they have really defined me".
Exhibitions.
She’s currently working on her upcoming exhibitions for the year 2018: Los Angeles, Chicago, Santa Barbara (USA), Paris (France), Mexico City, León, Guadalajara, Baja California Sur, Los Mochis, Oaxaca (Mexico), and Norway.
