Hi

Mi name is Renata Herrero Mier and I am an mexican artist who has recently moved to Åkersberga, Sweden.

I work with traditional materials like watercolours, inks, pastels, oils and digital art programs.

My art is divided in various series and projects. Some examples are the following:

The “ Onirikal” series in which the fantastic and the mundane touch each other. This series is inspired in dream scenarios with intricate detail . Many characters are children, storytellers and creatures reading books. Opening the door to the fantastic worlds they tell tales with a personal symbolism I have been developing in much of my art.

The “Fairy Forest” which is inspired in mythology, different cultures and dreams blending with natural scenarios. I create an imaginary world with its own narrative. I love to include snail like forms which meant renaissance from ancient pre-Colombian cultures in America.

A great part of my art is also inspired by the cultural influences we breath everyday like pop-culture, videogames and comics. Every character has a unique story and a world for their own like a fairy tale frozen in time and space.
