a self-taught visual artist living in Reno, Nevada. I am a contemporary painter and tattooer, working primarily with acrylic and oil pastel on canvas and paper. I am best known for my expressive paintings and tattoos that combine flowing shapes, bold contrasting colors, and a strong sense of movement. My work often depicts natural elements, landscapes, and human figures, inviting viewers into an emotional and dynamic visual experience.​​

My practice is driven by a constant curiosity about the interconnectedness and fluidity of elements—how one form transitions into another, much like the ever-changing facets of life itself. I enjoy exploring the multifaceted sides, angles, and shifting perceptions of reality, revealing the hidden complexities and subtle beauties that form part of our human experience and the natural world. Through my art, I aim to create visual dialogues that resonate with the viewer's own emotional landscape, inviting a moment of reflection on our shared connection to the world around us.

 

​Creating art is, for me, a form of engagement with my environment; it allows me to observe closely, reflect deeply, and translate those impressions into a visual language that feels both meditative and honest. It is through this process that I find focus, presence, and a meaningful way to communicate with both the external world and my inner self.

Hi there, I'm Katia Azuela,

I’m grateful to everyone who takes the time to look at my work and follow my creative journey. It’s a privilege to be able to create every day.​

 

Thank you for being part of it.
