① Artwork:
Be more like a river than a rock
In this painting, a muscular yet distorted torso in blue and purple hues takes up the entirety of the canvas. The artwork’s title references a zen-like way of being and fits the artist’s theme of having the body act as a landscape. Water and fluidity motifs get further amplified by water-like resin rivers stretching across the painted surface.
Larissa De Jesús Negrón is an introspective multidisciplinary artist who seeks self-evaluation through her intimate and often otherworldly paintings. Her stylistically varied, neo-surrealist work comes from the artist’s curiosity about the subconscious and psychoanalysis, offering the viewer a cathartic connection via her visual language.

③ Artist:
Larissa De Jesús Negrón is an introspective multidisciplinary artist who seeks self-evaluation through her intimate yet often otherworldly paintings. Her stylistically varied, neo-surrealist work comes from the artist’s curiosity about the subconscious and psychoanalysis. As such, she has expressed a profound interest in healing and addressing trauma through her work while giving the viewer a cathartic way to connect. Expectations society puts upon women, the vitality of nature, humor as a coping mechanism, and storytelling as a tool for healing are all existential themes in her work.
Larissa De Jesús Negrón was born in 1994 in Puerto Rico and lives in New York City, NY. She studied Drawing and Painting at The School of Plastic Arts in Old San Juan but transferred to Hunter College in New York City, NY, where she earned her BFA (2017).
