The Artist

Hello friends :) My name is Thalia and I'm a contemporary oil painter based in Southern California, working primarily in portraiture and inspired by dream like imagery and inner reflection. My practice took shape during a period of darkness following the pandemic, when painting became a way to reconnect with myself. Through painterly surfaces and subtle expression, my work explores vulnerability, presence, and the quiet emotional life within each piece.



Beyond the Studio

Outside of my studio practice, I find joy in slow thoughtful moments---candlelight and jazz, deep conversations about philosophy and art history, and unhurried trips through museums and antique stores.


Drawing is where I feel most at ease, often accompanied by a cup of coffee (hot or iced) at any hour, something sweet, or a well-made Moscow mule.


These everyday pleasures and curiosities quietly inform how I connect, observe and create :)
