About the Artist

The Artist

Wendy Robles is a visionary science fiction artist. Her works invite the viewer into alternate planes of existence. In these vast landscapes of her mind you may find yourself encountering a portal situated amongst large towering flowers or strange symbols, sometimes reminiscent of two eyes, floating in the sky. These elements have become emblematic of her visual language.

The foundation for Wendy’s visionary language began in the Summer of 2021. During this time she began “The Midnight Series”, a body of work developed during the late hours of the night between midnight and 3am from her studio at Mana Contemporary. She believed working during this liminal time allowed her mind to become more receptive to the unseen influences surrounding her and the guidance of the unknown. To preserve the integrity of the night environment she would work in darkness using only a soft spotlight to illuminate the work.

Wendy’s fascination with the natural world and science is central to her creative process, often manifesting in references to astronomical phenomena and botanical forms within her imagined realms. She is drawn to the methods of work from notable artists, Hilma Af Klint and Remedios Varo.
