About the Artist
Portrait by Millie Cooper Randolph
Gala Reneaum Tello was born in Mexico City and resides in Northwest Arkansas where she founded ArtsyGala. She is a visual artist presently focusing on collage, implementing her love of upcycling treasured, ordinary materials and the ephemera of daily life into vibrant, nostalgic, original works that freeze a moment in time and create visual poetry around it.
Gala studied at the University of Arkansas where she earned a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science in business administration. She presently serves as the art gallery manager at MIXD Gallery in Rogers, AR. Gala’s interest in the intersection between business and art is part of what inspired her to found ArtsyGala, creating a business out of something she enjoys and loves to share.
Gala is drawn to create art to process feelings, cherish memories, reflect on the past, and connect to loved ones. Through her art she is able to share her concept of home and explore her cultural roots. Throughout her work, Gala’s Mexican background is seen in reflections and references to Mexican life and history – Día de Muertos, Lotería, gastronomy, prehispanic cultures – and to the personal, such as her bond with her grandparents.
Gala hopes that those who come in contact with her work will experience curiosity and be inspired to live a creative life – perhaps even playing and experimenting with making art from materials they already own.
