Maria S. Patiño
Patiño is a mixed-media artist and illustrator exploring cultural narratives, memory, and belonging. Patiño works intuitively with artists’ books, collage, and painting. Patiño uses layered textures and symbolism to reflect personal and collective histories.
“I will attend a one-week printmaking residency at Printmaking Barcelona, participating in hands-on workshops in etching, cyanotype, photoengraving, and linoleum relief. This experience will expand my practice and enrich my teaching through cultural exchange.” – MP
