Meet the Artist

Flora Saldivar

Flora Saldivar is a Mexican American artist who finds inspiration in the ebb and flow of life, drawing parallels between the natural world and our interactions with each other. Through a vibrant palette and dynamic soak stain techniques, Flora invites viewers to pause and reflect on the overlapping, intersecting, and merging streams and springs of human experience. With a passion for color, movement, and texture, Flora seeks to capture emotions and impressions rather than specific figures, allowing viewers to experience their unique take on her work.

Born and raised in Mexico City and now residing in the American Ozarks, Flora has honed her craft while exploring the beauty in chaos and mastering new techniques. In a world that often feels synthetic, processed, and digital, she offers a glimpse into a more unrefined and unpredictable reality through her proprietary gouache color blend, presenting a body of work that resonates with those who appreciate the delicate balance of spontaneity and intention in art.
