Where Contemporary
Inspires Diversity
Women are often expected to hide their sensitivity and
internalize negative emotions such as sadness and anxiety.
Marmolejo has captured the subtlety in these emotions and
created fascinating illustrations of their micro-expressions.
Tania Marmolejo is a painter of Dominican Swedish American
heritage, who honed her skills through studying Graphic Design
and Illustration in Norway before completing her education in
Fine Arts and Illustration at the Altos De Chavon School of
Design in the Dominican Republic in 1998.
CICA Vancouver is pleased to announce Dominican-born artist
Tania Marmolejo’s
first solo exhibition in Canada, opening from
June 1 to July 9, 2023. Marmolejo
grounds her expressive figures
in the wildness of fluid landscapes. Her characters
peek out from
behind trees, emerging and exploring their environment while
simultaneously beckoning the viewer through their wide-eyed stares.
