ANNIE ROSE MACER
Annie Rose Macer (b. 1984) is an indigenous Mayan artist born in Boca del Monte, Guatemala whose work is characterized by a deep passion for pattern-making and a natural affinity for color. Annie Rose began honing her skills in childhood, drawing inspiration from Tibetan influence, creating intricate mandalas. This early exposure to symmetry, repetition, and vibrant hues laid the foundation for her distinct artistic language, which weaves together organic forms with geometric precision. Her art explores subjects that evoke personal joy, including the beauty of nature, organic materials like flowers, animals, landscapes, and a variety of line-based motifs. She merges these elements into visually dynamic compositions that celebrate both the abstract and the representational. Annie Rose's creative practice spans multiple mediums, including painting, drawing, and cut paper collage. She often repurposes discarded materials, such as paint swatches and painted paper, transforming these humble materials into thoughtful works of art. Her most recognizable pieces are her large-scale "paper quilt" collages, where she meticulously layers hand-cut shapes to abstract significant subjects, imbuing them with new meaning and visual complexity. These works demonstrate her talent for combining tactile processes with bold, striking color palettes, resulting in pieces that are both visually captivating and full of emotional resonance. Through her innovative use of materials and her ability to translate personal joy into visual form, Annie Rose Macer invites viewers into a world where patterns, colors, and organic forms harmonize to reflect both cultural tradition and contemporary artistic exploration.
