Art by Presa Studio Mural by Art by Presa in Los Angeles

Mural for My Studio Space I created this mural for my studio space to attract and engage onlookers, while also beautifying an area that lacked public art. This piece reflects the beauty of feminine divinity and honors the elements of nature—like the sun—along with the symbolism of birds and the roots of my native ancestry. All of these are intertwined with vibrant colors and a sense of serenity. The birds and the feathers in her hair are woven together in a surrealistic fashion, representing interconnectedness and transformation. I’ve also integrated colors within her skin to signify the changing tones of human complexion, celebrating the beauty that diversity encapsulates. My hope is that this mural will spark conversation and draw new artists and art lovers to Koreatown, where my studio resides, creating a space for creativity and connection. I have always dreamt of opening up a creative space to encourage my community to tap into their creative senses, and feel pride for their neighborhood. This year I have opened my new studio space in Los Angeles. Here I can create new works, have a space for clientele to meet, and also be able to host shows and classes for my community. This mural for the studio was a way to honor my passion for feminine divinity and my native roots while sparking conversation within a neighborhood that was lacking public art.
