Possessing a stimulating artistic voice, Brenda Cibrian enchants her audiences with her contemplative, wondrous, enigmatic demeanor and transports them into another dimension that is both fantastical and familiar. Her ability to juxtapose incongruous imagery emerges as her defining characteristic, which is a reflection of her life experiences.
Inspired by nostalgia, every day life and the surreal, Brenda’s use of bold and vivid hues intertwined with delicate brushstrokes awakens the walls of Los Angeles County communities. Whether portraying the serene tranquility of Mexican desert landscapes or inspiring authenticity by paying homage to Frida Kahlo, her art evokes a spectrum of emotions -- inviting introspection and connection.
In addition to being a muralist, Brenda has exhibited her work in galleries across Los Angeles and Orange Counties, earning acclaim for her ability to transcend cultural boundaries through art. Most notably her painting “Healing Honey Temple” was chosen third place for best of show by the community and City of South Gate during the South Gate Museum 2022 Show. Brenda is currently a resident artist at The Hive Gallery and Studios in Downtown Los Angeles.
As she embarks on her next chapter, Brenda’s experiences and relationships continue to shape her exploration of human emotion. Although the future remains a mystery, Brenda will continue to delight her audiences with surprise as she evolves– drawing from her past, building on the present, and imagining the beyond.
