ANDREINA GIRON

Andreina Giron is a visual artist from Inglewood, CA. Her work directly reflect her observations of the constant social and economic changes of her home town and adjacent travel. Giron takes inspiration from her daily commutes, analyzing local architecture, public spaces, and small businesses, taking inventory of her city's defining characteristics. These landmarks become subjects akin to portraits of familiar milestones.

Giron uses art as a means to speak with others about familial memories and changes that take place on a personal level. These conversations become a safe space to express vulnerabilities, often manifesting in series of works depicting bug infected landscapes, which are symbolic of a constant anxiety. This process allows her the ability to face fear therapeutically in ways she could nit easily express verbally.
