About Llorona Luna ⏾

Llorona Luna (b. 1998, San Antonio, Texas) is a multidisciplinary, classically trained, Mexican-American artist, having studied from 2012-2017 at the North East School of the Arts in San Antonio, Texas and the Pacific Northwest College of Art at Willamette University in Portland, Oregon. Luna has always been a passionate artist, but didn’t find her true voice as a Dark Surrealist until 2025, nearly five years after escaping a violent relationship. Since fleeing the Pacific Northwest and traveling the South and the Midwest, she aimed to rebuild her life with the support of her friends, spiritual practice, and community care.

Working across a range of media, Luna’s practice embraces experimentation and material symbolism, while treating her art as both confession and invocation of her experiences as a woman. Her work often incorporates unconventional materials, including lipstick applied to canvas, alongside mixed and multimedia elements that speak to any given piece. Luna’s compositions frequently layer texture and symbolic imagery to create emotional visual testimonies, every stroke and line a ritual of healing. Luna asserts herself as a visionary who honors vulnerability as a source of resilience, power, and creates to remain in constant dialogue with herself.

Today, you can find Luna in San Antonio, Texas, creating artwork surrounded by friends, advocating for marginalized communities, painting windows and murals for small businesses, and working with clients and collectors that believe in her vision.
