On View September 4th – 28th
Entre Mundos
Entre Mundos (Between Worlds) presents the work of Mexican artist, Beatris Burgoin, and her experience living across two emotional and geographical landscapes: a small fishing village of San Juanico—known both for its tight-knit community and its world-class surf—and the coastal, cosmopolitan rhythm of Santa Barbara, California. Through expressive portraiture and evocative landscapes, this exhibition explores the complexity of living between worlds—never fully belonging to either, yet drawing strength, identity, and beauty from both.
From the quiet resilience etched in the faces of elders to the luminous cliffs of the California coast, these paintings are meditations on memory, migration, cultural inheritance, and the search for belonging. Each work is rooted in love—for people, for place, and for the ongoing journey of becoming.
Commission a Portrait by Beatris Burgoin
Portraits
Commissioning a portrait is a personal and meaningful way to capture a moment, memory, or loved one in a timeless work of art. Artist Beatris Burgoin approaches each commission portrait with meticulous care and a deep sense of storytelling. The process begins with a personalized consultation, where clients can share their vision, reference photos, and any meaningful details they’d like included. Beatris then creates preliminary sketches, capturing the essence and emotion of the subject before bringing it to life with refined detail, expressive brushwork, and a unique blend of classical and contemporary techniques. Each portrait is a collaborative journey, resulting in a timeless piece that reflects both the subject's personality and the artist's distinctive style.
During her exhibition at Art & Soul, Beatris is accepting a limited number of custom commission requests. If you are interested in commissioning a personalized piece, please complete our online inquiry form by clicking on the link below.
