LIFE & EXPERIENCE
Pamela Encinas
Pamela Encinas Jaime (b. 1988, Irapuato, GTO, Mexico) was raised in a strongly creative household, where two-architect generations, Spanish-French cultural heritage, and the combination of native traditions nurtured her early passion for the arts. From a young age she was immersed into creative world through crafts, museums, and trips that cultivated a deep appreciation for visual culture. Influenced by a lineage of artists in the family, her environment encouraged exploration across multiple disciplines.
At fifteen, she began a lifelong journey through art institutions across Europe and Mexico, visiting world-class museums and the homes of legendary artists such as Picasso, Miró, Gaudí, Rivera, and Kahlo. This global exposure confirmed her desire to pursue a creative path. At eighteen, she moved to the UK, living in Cambridge and London. This period marked her first independent immersion into European life, foreign language, and art. Three years later, she relocated to Florence, Italy, where she earned a B.A. in Visual Arts from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze. She remained in Florence for almost a decade, developing her artistic voice while embracing Italian culture as a second home.
Since 2016, she has been based in Houston, Texas, where she continues to evolve as a visual artist. Her work explores painting, collage, and mixed media. Alongside her practice, she is an experienced art advisor with deep knowledge in modern, post-war, and contemporary art. Her professional journey has included nearly eight years with contemporary and leading blue-chip galleries, where she worked with recognized stablished artists, participated in important global art fairs, and built long-lasting relationships with collectors, curators, and major institutions.
Statement
“Motivation and inspiration in everyday-life is a duty for me. Universe, nature, and complexity of human being, are the continuos of my inner self-research into my art practice and purpose.
The exploration of nuances, neutral and vibrancy of the color-spectrum, alongside the infinite lines and shapes are my organic language and best way expression to create visual compositions. Every single concept, idea, work, and process, manifests in its very own style and sort of pure form of representation and uniqueness.
I consider knowledge and courage, the two keys for success; also a deep believer of my own dreaming-soul and personal-life experiences.”
