About IKA
My Artistic Journey
Based in Texas, I am a Mexican-American artist who has been passionate about creating since childhood. My work explores emotion and identity through color, texture, and abstraction- often blending personal symbolism with intuitive movement. Accompanied by my cat and dog, I find inspiration in everyday moments and cultural roots. My recent paintings reflect themes of femininity, transformation and inner light.
