Sofia Enriquez

Sofia Enriquez is a Mexican-American Fine Artist based in the Coachella Valley located in Southern California. Enriquez received her BFA in Communication Arts at Otis College of Art & Design in 2014.

She currently opperates from her studio in Cathedral City, CA where she creates works that explore her intercultural identity, symbolism, and feminism.

Her practice consists of murals, large scale paintings, and her fashion collection MUCHO, that consists of one of a kind painted garments. Enriquez’s visual language includes simplified portraiture that is inspired by androgyny, traditional catholic paintings, and “Spanglish” phrases that are used as captions on some of her paintings to comment on her cultural diversity growing up in the United States. The iconography she uses create a literal way of her storytelling. She weaves bold elements such as Paisley, faces, and other graphics into fluid-like compositions that create the illusion of movemenet and timelessness.
