Finding Passion Through Colors with @lourdes_villagomez

Color is a constant in the life of Lourdes Villagómez, (@lourdes_villagomez). The Mexican painter started off as a graphic designer, afraid of devoting herself to painting. But it was color that brought her back to her passion.

“I love color and the fact that it’s so Mexican. One of my main topics is Mexican culture and traditions, and in my country that goes hand in hand with color. I started painting with this theme while I was in Italy, missing my country, and automatically the color appeared,” says Lourdes, who abandoned design after winning a scholarship to study painting in Florence, Italy.

Back in Mexico City, Lourdes’ paintings mainly focus on her country, but she also does portraits. “Now I earn my living through my paintings, and that is because I believed in me. I said, I’m going to throw myself at it — I am going to do it.”
