Emma Reyes
b. 1966, Mexico ∙ CE artist since 1991
Emma Reyes is an enthusiastic artist, always eager to experiment with new media, but she most often works in clay. Her ceramic plates and masks vibrate with color and texture. In her three dimensional work as well as drawings and paintings, Reyes depicts a plethora of animals and plants. Her masks are typically women’s faces with teeth bared and hair flowing wildly over their heads. Reyes also works frequently with colored pencil on board or paper. All of her creations are colorful, inventive works as lively as Reyes herself. Reyes' work has been featured in numerous exhibitions at Creativity Explored.
