Marisabel's art inspiration comes from many sources: Mexico's famed artists (Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera) that she studied in her youth, her experiences in Paris, as well as Jackson Pollock, Andy Warhol, graffiti, anime, and Murakami. She started painting three years ago, upon arriving in Los Angeles. Music (musica) remains the greatest driving force for her art, each stroke of her brush driven by a note and words. Blue, the color of dreams, predominates in her colorful pieces that incorporate fabric, oil, spray paint, stencils, and markers. Marisabel recently performed and showed at Swinghouse Studios and Gallery, and she regularly performs at The Key Club, in L.A. Her debut EP, available in late 2008, a high-energy combination of pop, rock, and funk, features all-new songs in Spanish and English that she has written or co-written herself.
