Sound of water
Continuing her exploration of neo-surrealist figuration and motifs involving water as a metaphor for the fluidity of introspection, this artist has created a mesmerizing figurative image. Her arresting vision of a female body in water was made using a delicate overlay of liquid resin on top of her painted acrylics. She also incorporates natural elements in the water, such as the silhouettes of leaves, to signify how the body is naturally connected with nature.
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.

Larissa De Jesús Negrón is an introspective multidisciplinary artist who seeks self-evaluation through her intimate yet often otherworldly paintings.

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.
