Pola Lopez is a native New Mexican, who works in Santa Fe and Los Angeles, California. Her dynamic sense of color and symbolic imagery result in luminous works that are infused with spiritual vision and meaning relating to her personal experience as a Latina. Often incorporating symbols from her religious and cultural heritage, she creates works that celebrate political and cultural solidarity. Lopez has established herself among the leading Latina/Chicana artists of the Southwest.
Her work is in permanent collection in museums and numerous private and public collections throughout the United States.
It continues to be the mission of the Capitol Art Foundation to build a permanent collection of New Mexico masterworks that are representative of New Mexico’s rich and diverse cultural, historical and artistic traditions.
