Margarita Howis is an internationally recognized artist whose work transcends traditional art, fusing self-empowerment, cultural connection, and bold storytelling. Having lived in seven countries, she brings a global perspective, creating art that challenges conventions, celebrates authenticity, and inspires transformation. Her journey from architecture to fine art was a radical act of self-reinvention, driven by a need to express the raw beauty of identity, resilience, and human emotion.
At the core of Margarita’s work is her ability to portray deep, unfiltered emotion. She steps beyond conventional beauty, capturing vulnerability, strength, and the raw essence of the human experience. Each piece is not just a portrait but a story—of power, resilience, love, and self-discovery. Whether through the piercing gaze of her subjects or the layered abstraction of their emotions, Margarita’s paintings invite viewers into a world where art becomes a mirror of the soul.
Her distinctive style blends realism with experimental abstraction, incorporating fluid brushwork, mixed media, and sustainably sourced 23K gold and silver—symbolizing strength and individuality. She has exhibited internationally in New York, Miami, Paris, Copenhagen, Cancun, and Montreal, expanding her reach through large-scale murals and collaborations in fashion and music. Her work has been collected by artists like Offset, Jason Derulo, DaniLeigh, and AQUA, reinforcing her deep connection to hip-hop and contemporary culture.
Margarita’s art stands as a voice for empowerment, especially for women and underrepresented communities. Beyond galleries, she partners with global initiatives, such as the United Nations, using her work to tell untold stories and spark meaningful conversations. With each piece, she continues to push boundaries, blending art, fashion, and activism to create a lasting cultural impact.
