Lighting The Way To The Future

Lighting The Way To The FutureMy sketch shows youth holding animals inspiring viewers to be kind to animals & consider adopting a pet. There are elements of the water cycle & community landmarks with a rainbow flowing through. The rainbow represents how we can light the way for future generations by inspiring them.

Brenda Cibrian is a multi-disciplinary artist whose style is inspired by nostalgic, dreamy and surreal aesthetics transporting the viewer to a place that feels both fantastical and familiar. Brenda’s latest work has placed Mexican iconography at the forefront paying homage to Frida Kahlo, the Mexican desert landscape and Alebrije folk art. Previous murals have been for community businesses in South Central, Long Beach and Los Angeles. Brenda is also part of the South Central Arts organization which is a grassroots network of artists, organizers, and allies that come together to address social justice issues in South Central and similar communities. In addition to working as a muralist Brenda also showcases her art in galleries both in LA and Orange County occasionally showing work outside the area. Most notably her painting “Healing Honey Temple” was part of the South Gate Museum 2022 Show “Cuidate” and was chosen 3rd place for best of show by the community and City of South Gate. Brenda is currently a resident artist at The Hive Gallery and Studios in Downtown LA.
