El Mayoreo | Series: Honduras Prefiero Verte con Alegría

Born in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, Azalia Molina is an artist who uses a variety of mediums including clay, printmaking, and painting to reveal the culture, traditions, and social problems of her home country.

Molina began her career when she was awarded a full tuition scholarship for undergraduate studies through the Walton International Scholarship Program, receiving a BS in Studio Art and Business Administration from the University of the Ozarks in Clarksville, AR.

Her work is characterized by being detailed and full of brilliant, saturated colors. Authentic food, folkloric dances, religious celebrations, stories, and artisan markets have all become synonyms of richness and abundance that she clings to as she finds herself in a different culture away from home. Her work results in collecting personal memories and experiences to expose the rich, extravagant, and unique country she calls home through icons and themes of Honduran history and popular lifestyle.
