US based mexican painter Regina Davis creates scenes which enhance our understanding of the world from a female perspective.

Inspired by the constant evolution of the female psyche and using herself as a filter to translate an emotional reality, she uses elements of nature to intricately describe the constant tension of concepts that seem to fight each other to define a woman’s place in the world.

The intricate juxtapositions of innocence and wisdom, delicacy and strength, and poise and primitivism are explored in Regina Davis' paintings of primarily women full of beauty and mystery.

The exposure of female bodies and faces embraced by bouquets of flowers or gently wrapped by wings demonstrate the tension between being vulnerable whilst being exposed. The women are both giving and taking, nurturing while being nurtured depicting a sense of untamed strength. The tone is simultaneously moody and enchanting. Each element caters to a calming sense of mystery, inspired by the relationship between woman and nature.

She reminds us with her symbolic narratives of the constant search of our human nature in the presence of a larger spiritual reality through the female experience.

Regina Davis was born in Mexico City, largely self taught she has devoted her life to art and has developed her skills by attending workshops at the Art League of Alexandria, The Art League of New York, The Grand Street Atelier and the New York Academy of Art along with apprenticeships with renowned artists. Her body of work clearly denotes her self discovery through art. From an early age the beauty and mystery of human nature has fascinated her. Regina Davis filters her emotional experiences through artwork that focuses mainly on the feminine psyche. In her latest collection she presents how femininity copes with reality, she converses with themes of eternal bliss (or perhaps the illusion thereof) versus the thorny injuries wrought by time and experience. She merges realism, fantasy, and psychological depth in her intricate and delicate compositions.

Regina Davis paintings have been exhibited in Museums in Mexico City as well as various Art Galleries in Mexico and in the US.

She currently lives and works in Fort Worth, Texas
