Daniela García Hamilton's Exhibition at Charlie James Gallery Explores Memory Through Embroidery and Painting

Daniela García Hamilton presented her solo exhibition 'Amanecer / Atardecer' at Charlie James Gallery in Los Angeles from June 21 to August 2, 2025. The first-generation Mexican-American artist combines oil painting with hand embroidery to depict scenes from family life, using domestic imagery to address themes of cultural memory and resilience. Her works, such as 'Toyota' (2025) and 'La Sala (The Living Room)' (2025), transform everyday moments into portraits that resist cultural erasure. By merging craft techniques with fine art traditions, García Hamilton creates a visual archive of diasporic experience, positioning embroidery as both medium and metaphor for preserving intergenerational stories.
