About Me

Hi! I’m Abigail Villarroel (he/they), a Venezuelan-born, Birmingham-based artist.

My art spans both figurative and non-figurative forms, drawing inspiration from the male form, drag culture, nature, and my journey as an immigrant from the Venezuelan diaspora. Right now, my work is in an exploratory phase, seeking to marry my personal context with artistic intent.

Living in the Middle East, Venezuela, Argentina, Japan, and the UK has moulded my art, but it’s in Birmingham’s vibrant art and poetry scene that my creativity has been able to flourish.

I work across a range of mediums, including acrylics, liquid and dry techniques, as well as digital art. My practice is in constant dialogue with my passion for poetry writing and personal essays.
