Palma Ilustrada
Markers on paper
24 × 19 in.
2026
In Palma Ilustrada, Claudia Rivera Plaza revisits one of the enduring symbols within her visual language: the palm tree. Drawn entirely in marker, the work merges botanical form with expressive, illustrative elements, blurring the line between landscape and character. Vibrant color and intuitive mark-making transform the palm into a living presence—one that observes as much as it is observed. Rooted in Rivera Plaza's Puerto Rican upbringing, the image becomes both a personal memory and a playful meditation on place, identity, and imagination.
On view as part of Claudia Rivera Plaza's solo exhibition at duck-rabbit coffee in Ohio City, organized by SHED Projects and curated by Jillian Blackwell.
