CREATING ART WITH SOUL AND NATURE
The past few years, I have dedicated my life to art. With over 2,500 works created,
my mind is constantly exploring new forms of expression.
I specialize in creating textured pieces on canvas and intricately carving recycled wood, fusing traditional techniques with a contemporary artistic vision. My creative process begins with meticulous surface preparation, applying clear gesso to create depth and texture, giving each piece a dynamic and tactile character. Then, using oil and linseed oil, I bring to life compositions full of color and vitality.
Nature is at the heart of my inspiration. Trees, symbols of life and growth, occupy a central place in my work, reflecting the connection between humanity and the natural world. Furthermore, the use of recycled materials not only honors the past but also breathes new life into forgotten elements, transforming them into pieces with stories of renewal and harmony with the environment.
Each work is born from everyday experiences, lived moments, or conversations that enrich me. I try to capture these experiences from a personal perspective, which allows many people to identify with my creations, evoking their own memories and emotions.
Over time, I've come to understand that my works seem destined for each person in particular. When someone acquires a piece, it's as if it were created especially for them, which fills me with deep satisfaction knowing it will be cherished for a long time.
My name is Neyda De La Peña, and I invite you to discover my artistic universe.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Born in Mexico in 1973, Neyda De La Peña studied economics at La Salle University. However, her love for art manifested itself from childhood, where she excelled in dance, poetry, and public speaking. Despite family expectations that initially kept her from pursuing her passion, she never stopped creating.
In 2007, she created her first figurative work, Pretty Woman, carved from an old wooden board, marking the beginning of her artistic career. Since then, she has developed a unique style incorporating materials such as metal and wood, exploring textures and techniques that challenge the limits of oil painting.
Her art has transcended borders, participating in prestigious festivals in the western states of the United States, where her work has been recognized for its originality and innovative nature.
Simple, joyful, and with an adventurous spirit, Neyda finds in her art an authentic and liberating way to express the depth of her being and her vision of the world.
