Program Description
Event Details
See Vania Soto's artwork on display at South Branch Library as part of Hispanic Heritage Month through the end of October.
Kansas City Local artist V. Soto was born in Juarez, Mexico, and began selling paintings at age 13. Inspired by proud cultural icons such as Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, she connects with her heritage by maintaining influential traditions from this rich past.
Building on this theme, Day of the Dead symbolism is prevalent in her work, again as a way of connecting to the longstanding customs of her family and community and expressing its beauty through art.
Her main media is acrylics, and she also works in mixed media. She describes her work as realism with a pop of surrealism. As a full-time commission artist, she has worked in all medias that including murals, portraits, leather painting, and glass painting.
