Ale Villa Vila

An architect who found her truest medium in the cut line. After two decades of painting, Villarreal has spent the last nine years working exclusively in linocut — pressing Mexican cultural memory into bold, graphic form. Mountains, chairs, toys, games, and the Lotería Mexicana reimagined with humor and a contemporary eye. Shown in Nuevo León, Mexico City, and Scotland. The architecture training shows: every composition is structured, deliberate, and exactly as loud as it needs to be.
