Marcela Vasquez - Touching your heart and soul with her amazing art.

The artist's brand MARCELA PAINTING is making waves on the city's dynamic art scene. With an understated yet charismatic personality, Marcela was only too happy to share her thoughts about her passion in life: art.

Born and raised at the foot of Chile's scenic mountains and not too far from the sea, Marcela Vasquez has come a long way in her journey as an artist.  All of her life, Marcela felt an innate passion for art but, as so often happens, life and family responsibilities tend to get in the way. For years, this natural-born artist toiled away in an office, dedicating her working hours to being the best marketing and consulting professional she could be. But, after the workday was done and on the weekends, Marcela pulled out her treasured canvas and brushes together with her "toolbox" of oil and acrylic paints and set about creating a magical world of colors. Friends and family raved about Marcela's paintings; each one telling a particular story and coming straight from the artist's heart. Fast forward to three short years ago: dissatisfied with her life and wanting to be true to herself, Marcela decided to break with her routine, throw caution to the winds and embark on a sometimes precarious, but always rewarding path as a professional artist. Going from strength to strength, Marcela hasn't looked back since!

A frequent visitor to New York City, where her charming daughter Camilla resides, Marcela Vasquez achieved a definitive milestone in her young career as a professional artist when she was invited to participate in a group exhibition at the prestigious gallery ONE ART SPACE which is located in the artsy enclave of Tribeca. The exhibition was sponsored by Start Shows, a brand headed up by comic book artist, teacher and art curator Sophocles Plokamakis and his wife Thais, who is also a very talented artist in her own right. Over the course of several days, Marcela's paintings were seen by hundreds upon hundreds of discerning art lovers. It was an experience that Marcela will always fondly remember. " This was a once-in-a-lifetime event." said our artist in the spotlight. "I enjoyed meeting some extremely talented artists and received praise from those who wanted to give it, feeling much joy and gratitude."
