The Ahuil collection by Mexican artist Berenice Hernandez explores play through the arrangement and placement of simple geometric forms. Inspired by traditional Mexican toys which share the same spirit of movement and simplicity, Hernandez has re-created feelings from her youth through her unique mix of paint and textile on canvas to create added depth and charecter to this series of three works.
Located between the cooler mountains and suffocating desert heat of Monterrey in the north of Mexico, the studio of Berenice Hernandez takes inspiration from her surroundings to produce artwork with vibrancy and colour. With a background in art direction and graphic design, she combines her knowledge with subjects taken from her Mexican heritage. Botany contributes the focus of her work, brought to life through a mix of illustration, engraving, painting and textile techniques. The result is abstracted, bold plants and flowers, presented with a graphic touch.
