Growing up in a rural mountain town in San José, Costa Rican artist Aire took her first art class at the age of 12, and hasn’t stopped painting since. Aire’s striking works are heavily influenced by the world around her—whether that’s plates, cups, and wall-hangings or images from a dream (she feels her dreams often inspire her without her even noticing.) After a spontaneous decision to learn Marsella Tarot, Aire noticed spirituality and symbolism began to feature heavily in her paintings. This can be seen in the work we featured on WePresent, showing her subjects in an ethereal or contemplative state.
