Marianela de la Hoz

Marianela de la Hoz (born June 14, 1956) is a Mexican painter who depicts family life, couples, and Catholicism from a humanistic perspective.

De la Hoz was born in Mexico City but moved to San Diego in 2012 when she was 40 years old.^[1] She earned a bachelor's degree in graphic design from Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana in Mexico City. She worked as a graphic designer for ten years before she decided to become a painter.^[2] Her passion for art began at an early age but it wasn't until she turned 25 that she decided to focus on creating paintings instead of digital graphics.^[2] Her idea of magic realism has been labeled "white violence" due to her use of black humor and fantasy to demonstrate the darker side of humanity.^[3] She struggles with expressing herself efficiently but her art conveys everything she has to say.^[4]
