About

Selena Guerrero is a Massachusetts-based visual artist who has earned her BFA from the University of Massachusetts Lowell.

Selena is a perceptual oil painter who’s work evokes a contemplative quietude centered around everyday places. The work is a practice in noticing and describing, and she constructs distinctly-shaped panels out of wood as spaces for these paintings to inhabit.

“Comfort is nearly a plague; when we get too comfortable we stop seeing the world thoughtfully, there’s a sensitivity that is lost when we’re exposed to the same environments for too long. I choose to use everyday places as the subject of my paintings in the hopes that a viewer may be provided a moment to stop, stare, and appreciate what’s been presented so that they can learn to revere the details of their own lives. Everything in life is worth painting — my work speaks to a need to be present, to pay more attention to the smaller moments in our busy lives.” - Selena Guerrero
