Lulu Sotelo is greatly influenced by her upbringing in Mexico City. In her distinct figurative style, she creates portraits of herself, her friends, and characters from her favorite Mexican sitcom ‘El Chavo del Ocho’. With large heads, exaggerated facial features, and peg-like extremities, her characters are bright and colorful, sometimes accompanied by symbolic imagery. An admirer of fashion, Sotelo pays special attention to the clothing in her drawings, devising festive outfits from her imagination or rendering apparel true to life. In her textile practice, Sotelo combines painting, weaving, sewing, and embroidery (Lulu has invented her own embroidery knots) on clothes, and creates one-of-a-kind garments covered with her signature characters. Sotelo also makes her characters into plush dolls, complete with costumes and removable hats.
