Love Life (Barcelona) (2026)Acrylic painting by Mercedes Lagunas

This piece is paint on cardboard. Needs to be frame under a glass or similar.

My work lives at the intersection of innocence and rebellion. I paint instinctively, layering raw marks, symbols, and characters that feel both nostalgic and subversive. Childhood icons are reimagined in an urban landscape where love, humor, and vulnerability coexist with chaos and imperfection.

I work on cardboard as a conscious choice — a humble, everyday material that carries memory, fragility, and movement. It becomes my canvas for transformation. Through expressive lines, graffiti-inspired gestures, and spontaneous color, I build visual stories that feel immediate and alive.

Recurring figures — playful animals, flowers, hearts, handwritten words — function as emotional codes. They speak about connection, identity, joy, and resilience. Beneath the apparent simplicity lies a deeper dialogue about belonging and the human need to express love loudly and unapologetically.

My art is a celebration of freedom: imperfect, bold, and full of life.
