The show runs from February 23, 2008 through February 29, 2008.
In this exhibition Escamillan create artworks which manifest the sublimation of the artist’s repressed emotions into visual form. Escamillan claimed to be concerned with emotions, she purely express her inner self. The artist used the abstract expressionistic approach in her artworks because it is her one way of imparting herself to the viewers. The artist combined relief collage as well as painting techniques with expressive brushstrokes. The paintings are basically non-objective which means there are no actual objects represented. Influenced by the abstract expressionists like Jackson Pollock and Franz Kline, the artist make creations that are truly personal and candid.

will feature a vibrant collection of abstract works by Michelle M. Escamillan. It
will be on view at the Gabriela Art Gallery from February 23 until February 29,
2008, with opening reception on Saturday February 23 at 6:00 pm.
This is Escamillan's first solo art exhibit. The artist desires to express her
deeper emotions and imagination through abstraction. Escamillan's works are
reflections of the different struggles and adversities that the artist encountered
in life. According to her," My art serves as my haven, a sanctuary wherein I can pour my emotions from my heart".
The composition of the paintings is non-objective or non-figurative art that does not attempt to represent the recognizable form or effect of objects. The artworks itself are a fusion of painting techniques and collage. It shows freewheeling spirit and unrestrained energy and also bursting with gestural brushworks. The artist employed mixed media, a combination of indigenous and traditional media. The exquisite texture of the indigenous materials brings character and vigor to the artworks.
The exhibit is open to the general public from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm from Mondays to Saturdays and by appointment on Sundays. .
