Selene Perez is known for her vast bestiary of strong, graphic drawings of animals and emotive portraits. Ranging from seven-legged cats to flocks of geese in flight, Perez makes her creatures with the simplest of marks across an array of media. The influence of printmaking is evident in all of her work. Collectors are a fan of Perez’ ink blot swans and her portraits of Frida Kahlo, one of her favorite artists.

The vivid contrast between dark and light, and fine line and densely black form, are skillfully balanced. Perez handles her subjects with a sense of whimsy that softens the stark black and white pieces.

Perez's imaginative creatures came to life in her gull pillow made in collaboration with CB2 in 2014. In 2013, her work was featured in Outside In: The Art of Inclusion, Crawford Art Gallery, Cork, Ireland. Perez continues to be popular at the Outsider Art Fair on New York each year.
