Patricia Ventura
"<i>Hola!</i> I'm Patricia Ventura. From childhood, the scents of art shops caught my attention and awakened a great interest in visiting museums and galleries. As the daughter of a graphic designer, the materials were always within my reach. When I finished high school, I began to paint in a tiny studio workshop two blocks from where I lived with my family. My parents supported me, and were always enthusiastic with the works I brought home after my studio sessions with <i>don</i> Julian my teacher. I attended the workshop fulltime for two years while my parents saved enough money to send me to college. <br><br>
"For reasons of my own, I finally decided to study graphic design. In May, 2002, I graduated magna cum laude from the University of the Americas in Puebla with a degree in graphic design. Despite this, my passion for fine arts continued, latent. During my years at the university, I attended many audit classes in painting and figure drawing. <br><br>
"Ever since, I have collaborated with a number of design enterprises in Mexico City, developing international projects such as books, including <i>Aforismos y Epitafios</i> by Bruno Neuman, <i>Mulli El Libro de los Moles</i> by Patricia Quintana and <i>Miradas en el Tiempo</i> by Michel Zabe. I've also worked as the head designer with the Galeria Mexicana de Diseno, developing graphic identity and exhibit systems for their exhibitions. <br><br>
"Since 1998, I have also worked on independent projects in painting, drawing and illustration. I find a source of inspiration in the most common things and everyday activities. The colors I use are brilliant and explosive, typical of the surroundings in my own life. A box of tools, a lighter, a heap of pencils, my sister sleeping - these are themes that inspire me to create a painting."
