Maggie Hernandez is an abstract artist passionate about strong color and movement. She is an intuitive creator — acrylic and mixed media on canvas, digital painting, motion NFT’s — whose images are highly influenced by her immediate surroundings.

Moods inspired by music, spaces, events, and people are represented in her work by an iconography of contrasting shapes and colors. Her paintings, once dominated by bold color washes overlayed with crosses/pluses & minuses, are now paired with geometric asymmetry and collaged elements resembling planetary universes. She experiences the worlds she creates as a miniature silhouette in each painting; moving, dancing, expressing herself across the canvas as a positive and negative force of nature.

Maggie’s creative expression began as an escape from social oppression in an era when “girls should be seen and not heard”. Giving her a non-verbal voice, she started classical ballet at the age of ten. When she was not found wearing pointe shoes, Maggie enjoyed making cut outs from magazine and newspaper pages. She later enrolled at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, gaining acclaim for her designs as a display major. There she discovered that her passion for fine art overshadowed her design skills. In the years that followed, Maggie continued to paint and quickly found an audience for her work in the corporate arena.

Maggie continues to live and create in her hometown of New York City. She enjoys sharing her work locally as a way to enrich the lives of everyday people.

“As an abstract artist passionate about strong color and movement, I create boldly and intuitively on canvas; where acrylic paint, ink, and collaged elements collide. Although the finished work resembles planetary universes, my inner world is reflected as a positive and negative force of nature. A miniature silhouette found experiencing the imaginary environments I create; moving, dancing, expressing herself across the canvas is a reflection of my moods inspired by music, spaces, events, and people. As a person who experienced a lifetime of oppression and denial of her innermost feelings, it is my hope to elevate the human spirit by inspiring us to connect with all that lurks inside.” ~ Maggie Hernandez
