BIANCA TREVINO: “Painting” 

Current and Reefs

2022 

'Watching water move is watching time and life unfold. '

 

— Bianca Trevino

Currents and Reefs explores the dynamic movement of water and the fragile ecosystems it sustains. Each small-scale drawing (29.7 × 42 cm) on paper, painted with acrylic, studies the patterns, rhythms, and subtle flows of coral reefs and surrounding waters. Through careful observation, Bianca captures the interplay of light, color, and motion, revealing both the beauty and vulnerability of marine environments. These works continue her ongoing engagement with ecological awareness, translating the impermanence and delicacy of underwater landscapes into intimate, reflective visual studies.

Earth in Motion

2021

'The Earth moves, and we move with it. '

 

— Bianca Trevino

Earth in Motion explores the dynamic forces that shape landscapes, drawing inspiration from tectonic activity, shifting plates, and the invisible energy beneath the Earth’s surface. Through paintings that combine observation, abstraction, and material experimentation, Bianca Treviño captures the tension, flow, and rhythm of the land. Each work examines how natural forces interact with terrain and time, translating geologic motion into visual form. This series continues her exploration of the environment, emphasizing the profound and often unseen dynamics that structure our world

Wild Extinction

2014 - on going

'For those who cannot speak.'

 

— Bianca Trevino

Wild Extinction is a decade-long investigation into endangered species, fragile ecosystems, and the consequences of human overconsumption. Through drawings, sculptures, and socially engaged works, Bianca Trevino translates ecological urgency into visual and tactile form. The project has expanded into educational booklets, hand-printed textiles, and proposals for public installations, aiming to raise awareness and foster connection between communities, children, and the natural world.

The work explores fragility, transformation, and resilience — reflecting both the vulnerability of wildlife and the broader interdependence of humans and the environment. By combining observation, material experimentation, and narrative, Wild Extinction serves as both poetic documentation and call to action.

Creative Minds

2014

'The mind builds worlds before the hands ever move.'

 

— Bianca Trevino

Creative Minds is a series of drawings exploring the interior landscapes of thought, imagination, and perception. Each work traces the fragile moment between idea and form — where intuition, memory, and curiosity intersect. Through line and gesture, the drawings reveal the vulnerability and power of the thinking mind, honoring the quiet architecture of creativity.

Brittle Giants

2013

'Glaciers hold time, slipping through our fingers.'

 

— Bianca Trevino

Brittle Giants reflects on the grandeur and fragility of glaciers, monumental forms shaped over millennia yet vanishing within decades. Through sculptures and drawings, Bianca Treviño captures their scale, texture, and luminous surfaces, translating environmental vulnerability into tangible, visual form. The series invites contemplation on impermanence, climate change, and the delicate balance between human presence and natural forces.

Energy infrastructure

2010

'Extraction is architecture, energy is art.. '

 

— Bianca Trevino

Energy Infrastructure investigates the material and political forces that shape our world. Inspired by the lithium mines of Uyuni and global industrial networks, the series reflects on how human desire transforms landscapes into sites of extraction. Lithium is harvested like “white gold,” and mass-produced textiles circulate as symbols of value, exposing the ecological consequences and inequities of global consumption. Through oil paint, Bianca examines the tension between natural fragility and industrial monumentality, revealing the invisible systems that power modern life — and the costs they leave in their wake.

Epicenter: House of Memory

2008

'We are built on the epicenters of inherited and received information... '

 

— Bianca Trevino

Epicenter: House of Memory investigates home as a site of accumulated pressure — where cultural inheritance, personal history, collective memory, and external influence converge. The sculpture presents an impossible architecture: unstable yet monumental, walls expanding, fracturing, and resisting collapse, as if built on shifting tectonic ground.

In this series, the home simultaneously erupts into a star-like form, constructed from rolled and glued magazine pages. This explosive gesture reflects how our minds are bombarded by media, information, and cultural narratives, creating internal pressure and fragmentation. Like the epicenter of an earthquake or the detonation of light, the true rupture lies beneath the surface — unseen yet transformative.

The work embodies the tension between memory, identity, and external influence, revealing how cultural and informational forces continuously shape, destabilize, and reconstruct the structures we inhabit — both physically and mentally.
