About

Rose Arizmendi – an  American Artist who lives and works in northern California.

As an introduction, I work using a wide variety of materials, from acrylics, watercolors, pastels to oils but much of my work is hand-painted digitally using a Wacom pen, tablet and Corel Painter. Most of the digital paintings are created by applying coats of digital paint on successive layers, and in the end merging all the layers onto the background.

My fascination with multi-cultural traditions, spirituality, legends, fairy tales, and myth have developed into a personal mythology, constantly evolving and expressed through my art . The writing of Joseph Campbell, Carl Jung, Marija Gimbutas, Clarissa Pinkola-Estes have also influenced my work as I explore archetypes, dreams and my life experiences.

My paintings  portray a world focused on mythical and feminine archetypal imagery, offering the viewer a glimpse into the theater of my imagination. A visionary world  of light and shadow.
