About: Inspired by Hispanic and Mexican culture, the artist paints an alebrije, a folkloric creature, depicted as a jackrabbit alongside an opuntia cactus, or prickly pear – a nod to regional flora and fauna commonly found in our Chihuahuan desert.

Artist: Paola Martinez
About: The artist keeps to rich reds, yellows, blues, purples and greens for this mural depicting three star Mexican piñatas with vibrant streamers at their points, as well as streamers made of papel picado, the traditional folk art made by cutting intricate patterns on colorful tissue paper.
‘Primavera en el Otoño’
Where: Outlet Shoppes at El Paso, 7051 S. Desert Blvd.
Artist: Eugenia “AO” Carmona
About: Defining her artistic style as neo folk abstract, the artist depicts springtime in the fall, a colorful representation of the resilience needed to overcome, endure, and persevere through hardship.

Our latest installment of Art Spot takes us to the Outlet Shoppes at El Paso on the far Westside.
The shopping center this spring started a mural series, inviting local artists to decorate the property with their unique approach and style. The selected artists create their murals live over a weekend, giving shoppers a chance to see the art come to life before their eyes.
The next live mural painter is Visual Bluff, who’ll be at the Outlet Shoppes from 1-4 p.m. May 28-30.
