Paintings by Marta Ayala
June - July 2008
Marta Ayala's history with Mamá Art Cafe goes back to the first months of operation when she painted the back wall of the venue with a vibrant mural depicting the landscape and culture of Central America. An exhibition of her paintings, Stone, Water, Wind was the first exhibition at Mamá Art Cafe.
In her recent work, you will find textiles, feathers, buttons, and dried plants as well as her own handprints, adding a tactile and three dimensional aspect to her canvases. Ayala says of her own work "My vision is called primitive because the vivid colors and naive representations call forth ancient emotions. They are a vibrant and powerful affirmation of life."
