Artists Hugo Mariño and Leilani Gastelum will present a new exhibition at a downtown Phoenix gallery.

“Reflexiones (Self-Reflection)” will be on display from Monday, Dec. 1 through Christmas Day at Olney Gallery at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, 100 W. Roosevelt St. There will be a Frist Friday artist reception at 6 p.m. Dec. 5.

Mariño’s abstract paintings reflect on three periods of his artistic journey.

There are abstract expressionist pieces, characterized by the intensity of the brushstroke and vibrant colors, plus work that evokes an urban environment, featuring layered elements and graffiti. There is also primitive line work that recalls childhood doodles.

Mariño titles this series “From Expressive Gesture to Garabatos (Scribbles).”

Gastelum is an award-winning emerging artist who earned a BFA from ASU in 2023.

Layering oil, acrylic, and watercolor with textile elements, she creates highly textured surfaces that symbolically represent the weight of memory and values. Her work prompts self-reflection, showing the impact of family values and the importance of embracing one’s true self.

“(My) artwork is a dedication to self-love and visual exploration of a person’s extraordinary soul,” Gastelum shared in a press release.

Olney Gallery is open from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Artist Leilani Gastelum and her work will be part of the new “Reflexiones (Self-Reflection)” exhibition.
