Art is Life (2026)Acrylic painting by Mercedes Lagunas

My work celebrates the power of symbols, color, and playful rebellion. Blending street art energy with contemporary pop aesthetics, I create visual worlds where humor, optimism, and cultural references collide.

This piece is a dynamic composition of iconic forms — stars, numbers, expressive characters, and bold typography — layered into a rhythmic, urban landscape. I am interested in the dialogue between spontaneity and structure, chaos and harmony. Each symbol acts as a fragment of modern life: joyful, ironic, nostalgic, and immediate.

Through saturated color and expressive line work, I aim to create work that feels alive — accessible yet layered, playful yet intentional. The result is a contemporary statement about imagination, positivity, and the universal language of visual storytelling.

My goal is simple: to create art that connects instantly, energizes a space, and leaves a lasting emotional imprint.
