About the Artist

Gladys Méndez’s work traces the emotional weight of absence, memory, and the quiet spaces that shape identity. Her paintings and drawings use emptiness, atmosphere, and subtle shifts of light to evoke the fragile tension within familiar places. By pairing soft nostalgia with sharp contrasts, she reveals the narratives that linger in everyday rooms and landscapes,  the quiet, overlooked moments where intimacy and uncertainty meet. Her recent explorations deepen this gaze, dissecting the ordinary to uncover its hidden emotional threads..
