About the Artist
Giannina Gutierrez is a mixed media artist based in East Harlem, NYC. Born in Barranquilla, Colombia and raised in Queens, NY, Giannina studied figure drawing and painting at The Art Students League of New York and majored in Fine Arts at the Pratt Institute. A continuous learner, her skill set expanded into the street art genre over the years.
Her vast palette of experiences, inspirations, and landscapes shape her ideas and inform her work. Her deep interest and curiosity of natural life connects to the intangible. Her work expands past an aesthetic, blurs the internal and external lines of reality, and generates a collaborative experience with the audience and environment.
