About
Angela Divina is a Mexican-American artist whose work investigates the relationship between the organic and inorganic. Her mixed-media paintings combine various art mediums—such as watercolor, gouache, and oil paint—with ready-made materials like stickers, paper packaging, and other collage elements in a synthesis that is not entirely traditional or digital. Divina’s upbringing between the Southwestern United States and Northern-Central Mexico is reflected in her subject matter; including fresh produce, prepackaged food items, cleaning supplies, and other household goods that are typical of the region. By pairing commercial imagery—like product logos and advertisements—with regional folk art, Divina reinforces the interplay between the organic and inorganic while also critiquing the commodification of domestic goods and its impact on cultural heritage.
Divina was born in Los Angeles, California, and earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the California Institute of the Arts in 2018. Her work has been exhibited in numerous galleries, including the Los Angeles LGBT Center and the Institute of Contemporary Art San Diego. Divina’s work has also been featured commercially in Target’s line of HeyDay electronic accessories. She currently resides in Phoenix, Arizona.
