intense. But, when I visited San Miguel, 7 years ago, I could not believe that such a place existed, a humble artist haven, filled with healers, in a world renowned tourist town, just 4 hours from Mexico City. Everyone that comes here, is looking to escape, for peace, or to surrender. There›s a spiritual element, a kind warmth that calms people and allows us to reflect upon our lives. I thought this would be the perfect place to continue working with my series. alTirado: Tell me about your next exhibition. Isis: On Satuday October 14th, I will be having an inauguración (an opening) of my new gallery and studio in San Miguel called « Legends from the Realm of Nepantla » showcasing new works from «Enter with Discretion». People will get the opportunity to meet all 4 of my archetypes and immerse themselves completely, in Nepantla, gaining a complete understanding how conflict manifests. alTirado: How important is it that art reaches the common individual? Isis: Oh, it›s so important. You know, I just took a course on how to use Instagram for the sole purpose of getting my artwork to the eyes of the universal community. Art is visual poetry that teaches, that guides a person toward their own feelings & sacred experiences. When people acquire a piece of my work, they get to enjoy daily a part of the myth with a cup of coffee or in deep conversation with a glass of wine and that if the greatest compliment to an artist. alTirado: Thank you Isis
