Statement

We are on the brink of so many things, and they all seem to be arriving tomorrow. But tomorrow keeps escalating into the next tomorrow, and there is no room left to take a pause, to think, to feel any of it through. We are stimulated past the point of seeing.

These paintings are what happens when I manage to refuse the doomscroll. I don't always. I invite you to take a moment to reflect upon these landscapes and whatever creatures and stories you find waiting there.

About

Erika Alonso (b. 1987) is a Houston-based artist whose work explores environmental fragility, displacement, and the life of the imagination, conjuring narrative landscapes — spacious, imagined terrains animated by lyrical lines, repetition, and ritual. Her process embraces both structured wonder and spontaneous emergence.

She works from her studio at Winter Street Studios in Houston.
