Xochitl Leal
Drawing + Painting
As a Chicana artist based in Los Angeles, my work is a celebration of my identity and the rich cultural heritage of Mexican womanhood. Through my drawings and paintings, I seek to explore the complexities of being a Mexican woman in contemporary society, while also honoring the strength, resilience, and beauty of my community. My art is a reflection of my own experiences as well as a tribute to the collective experiences of Chicanx & Latinx communities.
