Clarissa Banos

Clarissa Banos is a visual artist originally from El Salvador, whose artwork focuses on traditional Latin American culture.

Her ancestral heritage is what inspires her colourful acrylic paintings:
She is passionate about the magnificence of indigenous civilizations of the Ancient Americas and particularly intrigued by the Pre-Hispanic iconography found in ancient textiles of Mexico, Central America and South America. In addition, Banos showcases indigenous women as the axis of a magical universe in celebration of Latin America’s idiosyncrasies, popular culture and folklore.

Her academic credentials include a BFA in Graphic Design, from Universidad Dr. Jose Matias Delgado, El Salvador, and a MFA in Graphic Design, from University of Illinois at Chicago, USA, where she graduated as a Fulbright LASPAU Scholarship grantee.
Her professional background combines over 25 years of experience as a graphic designer, visual artist and arts instructor.

Clarissa Banos paintings can be found in private art collections in Central and South America, United States, Canada and Europe. She moved to New Westminster, BC, in 2002, where she now lives and works as a visual artist and arts instructor.
