After an inspiring trip to Florence, the place that overflows with art on every corner, the painting of Adriana Urquiza He evolved as his drawing technique for both objects and naked bodies improved, which allowed him to have fine lines as well as the bases to experiment with other techniques such as sacred encaustic. 

Dating back to ancient times and used by both Greeks and Egyptians, this is a technique that had been lost over time but is slowly making a comeback. 

What is striking about the application of Urquiza's creations is the rich level of movement that it possesses as well as the incredible durability that it manages. Years and years can pass before this paint deteriorates, mostly due to the use of Dammar resin and its properties. 

Encaustic painting consists of using a beeswax base, Dammar resin and pigments of various colors applied to wood. Everything is done hot and is generated layer by layer, which is then colored and left to dry to repeat the process, so it is a method that requires high skill as well as patience.

It is through this process that Adriana creates dreamy autumn landscapes as well as portrays her favourite animal: the rooster. This animal, besides representing abundance and wisdom for her, seems to her to be one of the most beautiful to portray both in painting and sculpture, given its graceful but ferocious bearing and the play of colours in its plumage and crest. 

For the artist, living in Saint Michael represents living in the most artistic city in all of Mexico, as she knows of no other place that can compare. In addition to having landscapes straight out of fantasy novels and possessing an exquisite color scheme of ochre tones, San Miguel is full of artists and galleries everywhere, making it a place teeming with art and inspiration, where Adriana will undoubtedly continue to be inspired to create pieces that delight us. 

The artist believes that the art of painting is here to stay and that despite technological advances and social networks, they will never be able to evoke what a painting conveys.
