Mia Araujo Sante Muerte Print Release

Mia Araujo has a stunning new print release Thursday with 1xRUN. The print is titled Sante Muerte and will be sold as a regular edition or as hand embellished.

"I have long been fascinated by stories and characters, and the multi-faceted complexity that makes each person unique. I believe that all individuals contain the entire universe within them, which is invisible to the naked eye. My work concentrates on giving shape to the unseen forces within my subjects-- their thoughts, memories, emotions, and complex histories. These qualities fit together to form a vast, rich inner-landscape of identity and mythology for my characters.

For this painting I wanted the main figure to be a combination of the Aztec death goddess: Mictecacihuatl, the Virgin Mary, and the iconic image of a bride that marries death, to form this image of Santa Muerte. My favorite setting for day of the dead celebrations is a graveyard at night that is covered with flowers and candles." - Mia Araujo

Mia Araujo Requiem (For The Damaged) Print On Sale Today

This debut RUN from Mia Araujo is part of 1xRUN's collaboration with curator and 1xRUN regular Nathan Spoor highlighting select works from the recent Suggestivism show at Bold Hype Gallery.

"Each of my pieces has a unique story to it- I wanted this one to feel ghostly, with the sands of time still caked on it, like a hundred-year-old photograph. I wanted to create a therapeutic yet haunting image to get myself through some dark times, in order to take strength from it. My ideas always come from a personal place, and I hope others can connect with the piece, if they are going through something similar." - Mia Araujo

Each piece in this RUN will be uniquely hand-embellished by Mia Araujo, check details of the hand-embellishing reflecting in the light in photos.
