Meet Abby Aceves

We had the good fortune of connecting with Abby Aceves and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Abby, how does your business help the community?
The significance of my art lies in its ability to connect with people on a deeply personal level.
I aim for my work to resonate with viewers, offering them a sense of comfort, understanding, or even
strength during challenging times. Through my art, I strive to create a space where people can see their
own emotions and experiences reflected, allowing them to feel less alone. Ultimately, my goal is to inspire
and uplift, reminding others that art has the power to heal, empower, and unite us in our shared humanity.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I am a Los Angeles-based self-taught painter and interdisciplinary artist. After receiving a bachelor’s degree from the Superior Fashion Center Edith Martin in Guadalajara, Jalisco, I worked in the fashion industry under my own label for seven years before shifting my focus to fine arts. Having spent half of my life in México, I felt a strong need to broaden my possibilities in the art world, which led me to significantly change my personal path by relocating to Los Angeles, California—a place I’ve proudly called home for the past six years.
My exhibition portfolio includes works featured in prominent galleries and museums across California, such as The Cheech Museum in Riverside, the San Diego Museum of Art, Boathouse Gallery at Plaza de la Raza in Los Angeles, Modern Eden in San Francisco, and the Consulate General of Mexico in Los Angeles, among others. I am also a Contributing Artist 2024-2025 for the Lakers in the Paint Grant. My work has been acquired by individuals in the entertainment industry, added to the personal collection of 1Culture Gallery in San Jose, and incorporated into the AltaMed Art Foundation Collection.
