Alepsis Hernandez is a visual artist and muralist based in Los Angeles, California. She has studied painting at Long Beach City College and printmaking at Xico Center in Phoenix, Arizona.
Alepsis’s work explores the lives of individuals in her community; choosing to use mostly artist friends as muses. She uses an achromatic palette to highlight personality attributes beyond what the eye can see. In her recent work, Hernandez explores the concept of fleeting moments. The drawings and paintings are of reference pictures taken during late nights with friends and quality time with family. She uses graphite to explore the impermanence of these moments. Her asymmetrical collage style culminates in juggling short and long-term memories in fear of forgetting. In 2019, Hernandez collaborated with Los Angeles Metro to create a painting that was digitally displayed at stops along the Blue Line and TAP ride cards. Last year she was selected to be an artist in a mural festival, Long Beach Walls.
