My art is about the creative process and where it leads me. I love to experiment with various media, textures, styles and new themes.
I may work with the unfamiliar and as the artwork evolves my impressions, sentiments, and feelings emerge spontaneously. Often I start with a more realistic image and as the process continues, I paint, use lots of layers, texture, and incorporate additional forms and materials that inspire me. The initial image can continue to change depending on where my mind goes during the process. It may become something entirely different. It's exciting to find new methods that help me create the unexpected. I want the viewer to touch my work. Feel the layers, texture, look at it closely and enjoy the experience and part of the process. I'm that person at a museum who has to hold back from touching the artwork and putting my nose directly on it. I would like the viewer to have their own interpretation of what they see; appeal to someone who doesn't necessarily have an extensive knowledge of art.
"Art is my cathartic outlet for life’s journey"
Roni Murillo is an award winning artist based in New York with an extensive background in fine art, graphic design and illustration. She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Syracuse University and continued to study at the Art Students League in NYC. Her work is featured in many galleries, private collections and publications throughout the United States, Asia, and Central and South America.
In addition to her love for fine art, Roni designs effective event posters, logos, marketing materials, and illustrations. She has worked as Director of Research and Development for a large toy company, which included packaging design and new product development.
While recovering from surgery to reattach her retina with no sight in her right eye, Roni considered how to embrace her art and turn this disability into a positive. This lack of full sight affected the content and style of her art. Her mind started to work in a different way. She drew on the distorted images and fused coloration she perceived. She calls this body of work the "One Eye Series". This experience was truly liberating, very different from the large figurative canvases done in the past. Her work that came from this difficult setback continues to fuel her artistic development.
