Eyes on butterflies
In this painting, the artist has depicted a close-up of a young woman’s face getting suffocated on the right by a crowd of thoughts running through her head. These phrases, written in Spanish, amount to a mix of affirmative and negative thoughts. Meanwhile, a swarm of scary “Scooby Doo eyes” becomes yet another manifestation of the mind’s internal monologue. These concepts also allude to the studio artist’s vulnerable frame of mind.
Larissa De Jesús Negrón is an introspective multidisciplinary artist who seeks self-evaluation through her intimate and often otherworldly paintings. Her stylistically varied, neo-surrealist work comes from the artist’s curiosity about the subconscious and psychoanalysis, offering the viewer a cathartic connection via her visual language.

③ Artist:
Larissa De Jesús Negrón is an introspective multidisciplinary artist who seeks self-evaluation through her intimate yet often otherworldly paintings. Her stylistically varied, neo-surrealist work comes from the artist’s curiosity about the subconscious and psychoanalysis. As such, she has expressed a profound interest in healing and addressing trauma through her work while giving the viewer a cathartic way to connect. Expectations society puts upon women, the vitality of nature, humor as a coping mechanism, and storytelling as a tool for healing are all existential themes in her work.
Larissa De Jesús Negrón was born in 1994 in Puerto Rico and lives in New York City, NY. She studied Drawing and Painting at The School of Plastic Arts in Old San Juan but transferred to Hunter College in New York City, NY, where she earned her BFA (2017).
Negrón has participated in multiple exhibitions, including Continuous Present, Lorin Gallery, Los Angeles, CA (2022); Satori, L21 Gallery, Mallorca, Spain (2022); Have we met?, Tesoro Collection, Amsterdam (2022); Le Corps-Paysage, Bim Bam Gallery, Paris, France (2022); These opalescent dreams of mine, Selenas Mountain, Ridgewood, NY (2022); Summer Summer Group Show, Ross and Kramer, New York, NY (2021); and Damas Damas Damas Damas, The Green Gallery, WI (2021).
