Dora Pina-Joffroy

Visual Art – San Francisco

Born and raised in Southern Arizona on the Mexican Border, currently lives in San Francisco, California. Always drawn to art, Dora has developed a distinctive artistic style in which she utilizes the medium of collage and layering techniques. What makes her art truly unique is how she mixes, matches and arranges recycled and found elements to bring an image to life. Her pieces are not only inspired by the things she is given and finds, but by animals, color, texture, space and her deep rooted Mexican heritage. In a visual sense, a certain amount of tension is found in her pieces, as she is constantly finding new ways to mix intricate elements, arrange where angles meet, and figure out which objects are the standouts. Dora’s fascination with all things whimsical evokes a sense of enchantment.
