ISSIS MACIAS

Born and raised in Los Angeles to Mexican immigrant parents, Macias is a self-taught artist whose practice is rooted in the richness of her heritage and explores the spectrum of human experience. She turned to painting during a season of profound change—becoming a new mother and navigating a major career shift during the pandemic.

 

Through intuitive abstraction, she creates a direct channel between her inner world and the artwork. Macias translates personal experiences into bold, layered compositions that speak to healing, resilience, and reinvention. Her use of color, form, and intuitive mark-making invites viewers into a space of emotional connection and quiet reflection.
