Meet Alana
Primeramente, Alana es orgullosamente Mexicana.
Originaria de Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, su luz e inspiración provienen de sus raíces, su familia, y el alma tan hermosa de su país.
Now based in Washington, DC, Alana is an interdisciplinary artist whose work explores the sticky, tar-like electricity that lives in the tension between life’s opposing forces and the emotions they ignite.
Her practice is rooted in weaving worlds and searching for meaning in the spaces where clarity dissolves, where tenderness meets terror, and where the contradictions of being human are felt most acutely.
Through painting, photography, and participatory installations, her work acts as a fervent love letter to the raw, unspoken corners of existence — conjuring evocative emotional landscapes whose colors scream between extremes. She invites viewers into dense, often uncomfortable spaces where life’s forces collide, linger, and transform.
To Alana, art isn’t just something you make — it’s something you live. It’s a way to confront, embrace, and survive the beautiful violence of existence. Her works often invite viewers to touch, disrupt, and connect with pieces that celebrate guttering emotional honesty and the fragile, relentless ache of being alive.
When she’s not in the studio wrestling with a technicolor of existential dread, you’ll find her experimenting with fashion, reading excessively, and just enjoying life.
