About this Event

About the ExhibitionAna iS: Lyrical Paintings of Musical Mindsets invites viewers into a world where music and visual art intertwine. In this vibrant collection, artist Ana iS reimagines favorite songs as expressive paintings, capturing the emotional landscape of each melody through color, texture, and form. Each piece is a translation of lyrics into imagery — a visual embodiment of sound.

These are not just paintings — they are emotional portraits of how we feel when we listen. From soulful ballads to upbeat anthems, Ana’s work transforms musical memory into something tangible. Through her unique approach, music becomes visible, and painting becomes a language of rhythm and resonance.


About the ArtistAna De la Vega, known professionally as Ana iS, has been painting for over 16 years, with a career rooted in the natural beauty of Northern California and Mexico. A seasoned member of the California Artists Association and California Watercolor Association, Ana is known for her emotive landscapes and innovative concept of “Lyrical Paintings” — artworks inspired by and directly connected to music.

“I want to paint your favorite song,” Ana says — and she does. With each brushstroke, she captures the essence of a tune, translating lyrics into color and feeling. Her work invites viewers to experience music in a whole new way.
