Emiliana Henriquez El Salvador, b. 1986

Emiliana Henriquez (b. 1986, El Salvador) is a Los Angeles–based painter whose work merges autobiographical experience with universal human themes. Drawing from her upbringing in East Los Angeles and her perspective as a woman of color, Henriquez creates ethereal, color-saturated compositions that explore connection, transformation, and identity. She has presented solo exhibitions at Half Gallery and Fortnight Institute in New York, participated in shows at the Flag Art Foundation, Charlie James Gallery, and Phillips Auction House, and was a Fountainhead Residency artist in 2024.
