About The Artist

For 22 years now, Majo Portilla has been painting across the globe, from Amsterdam, Guatemala, USA, Basel, Dubai to Hilversum where she currently resides. With a wealth of experience accrued over her travels, she channels them into her bold semi-abstract pieces that commands the vibrancy of her artistic career. With oil and acrylics as her core painting mediums, Majo assesses the human condition and draws out the inner beauty and strengths of her subjects. Often clad in intricately textured outfits, her figures are mostly devoid of any facial features, prompting her viewers to look not at the surface, but introspectively at the qualities of the mental and emotional states. The Mauritius International Art Fair, Dubai Art Expo, Ras Al Khaima Fine Arts Festival, Carrousel du Louvre Contemporary Art Fair, Fira Internacional d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona, Art Connects Women Dubai, La Marguttiana Arte Forte Dei Marmi, Museo Diffuso Contemporaneo Italy, Museo Internazionale Italia Arte, Museum of the Americas, SDG Art Collection United Nations Abu Dhabi @UN Hub Expo 2020, and other innumerable collective and solo exhibitions have all propelled her artworks into diverse markets throughout the globe. Her art has a voice.
