About Beatriz

Beatriz Whitehill is a visual artist from Massachusetts. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts at Massachusetts College of Art and Design. Beatriz’s practice encompasses her interests in painting, screen print, collage, and stop motion animation. 

Much of Beatriz’s work is inspired by the intersection of where traditional painting meets street art, video animation and contemporary fashion design, such as streetwear.

The stories within her work are often snapshots of different moments that draw on emotion or reflections of one’s place in the world with hidden details and imagery that encourage the viewer to take a longer look. These stories may depict magical or mythical elements in a modern world, the influence of magical realism on her work. Magical realism is a strong influence in her work because its narratives usually span generations. Considering multigenerational narratives, she often draws on her Puerto Rican heritage when she creates art. Symbols from her culture, like the vejigante masked monsters, help her to tell stories about resilience within oneself and are representative of the inner angels and demons that we all grapple with.
