Heny Steinberg, originally from Mexico City, brings a unique perspective to her artwork. Her creations go beyond mere two-dimensional representations, harboring deeper meaning that transcends their appearance. Steinberg's artistic process commences with concrete images and references, yet gradually evolves through a process of contextualization. She employs a grid or lattice system as the initial structure for her paintings, which is subsequently deconstructed and re-imagined. Her artistic journey includes receiving a degree in graphic design from the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes y Literatura (National Institute of Fine Arts and Literature) in Mexico City and studying under Mexican Expressionist painter Eduardo Cohen from 1984-85, all while developing her distinct style of abstraction.
Her works are reminiscent of American Abstract Expressionists like Helen Frankenthaler but also have a clear Mexican Cubist influence. Steinberg’s color palette is unique and soft, while also being dynamic, emotional, and playful.
Steinberg’s paintings have been exhibited frequently in her native country of Mexico, but she has also achieved recognition internationally with participation in exhibitions in countries such as the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium.
