Marni Mutrux’s (pronounced MEW-troo) work goes beyond the traditional artist/image relationship; each of her pieces is a poetic testimony of her love affair with the paint itself. As striking as her work appears when viewed at a distance, an inspection of the dimensional texture of her canvases reveals an intimate knowledge of the quality, as well as the value, of her chosen medium.

“The fluidity and texture excites me. I get the opportunity to explore the paint, indulge in it, play, learn and fight with it. There's always a battle, and sometimes I lose.”
–Marni Mutrux

Fluent with both representational and abstracted styles, Mutrux possesses an unerring and unapologetic ability to evoke a response in her viewers. Her vibrant abstracts are a subtle roar of texture and energy, evoking an image of the artist carefully folding pieces of her own vitality into each brush stroke. Her autobiographical portraiture is storytelling of a more literal, but no less vivacious, form, revealing intimate examinations of her past (and not always pleasant) experiences.

Taken in combination, both styles of work contain lessons on femininity, strength, passion, and vulnerability. They provide the narrative to a visual journey from the insecurity and exploration of youth towards the deft fearlessness of an artist in her prime.

Mutrux was awarded a Presidential Art Scholarship and earned her Bachelor of Arts degree, graduating Magna cum Laude, from Salem State College (MA) in 2004. Originally from Key West, Fl., Mutrux currently resides in California.
