Latecoming Newcomer
Rose Hinojosa (she/her) is an emerging (and entirely unknown) artist in the vibrant landscape of Houston, Texas. Her creative essence is infused with the cultural foundation of her upbringing in the border-town of Brownsville, Texas, and her journey of discovery deepened in the diverse milieu of Houston. An early affinity for writing, songwriting, and videography served as portals into the depths of her human experience, where Rose's unique blend of humor and introspection found fertile ground.
Though her artistic journey began with a spark of innate talent, it was during her college years that Rose's creative spirit found new mediums. Auditioning for a play proved to be the catalyst for exploration of every creative avenue available to her. From writing screenplays to designing soundscapes, sets, and costumes, from engaging audiences on the stage to crafting comedic video sketches, Rose's creative fervor knew no bounds — and that’s the way she likes it.
Yet, despite her talents and luster for creative expression, Rose found herself stifled by societal pressures, her work relegated to the shadows for far too long. Now, galvanized by a spirit of liberation, her spirit emerges from the subterranean depths, determined to share her artistic vision with the world. With the goal of unveiling her first multi-media installation by 2025, and publishing her first book by 2026, Rose embarks on a journey of rediscovery — a triumphant return of dormant works, each infused with the essence of her creative revolution.
This upcoming chapter heralds not only a debut but a resplendent renaissance — a testament to Rose's unwavering commitment to the transformative power of creative expression.
Artist Statement
Diving into the depths of consciousness, I guide viewers and listeners on a voyage of self-discovery and spiritual reflection.
Through a fusion of multimedia expressions, including soundscapes, poetry, spoken word, and mixed media compositions, I weave narratives that transcend the physical boundaries of permanence and attachments.
At the core of my practice lies a reverence for the concepts of consciousness, returning to self, and honoring spirit. Each piece serves as a vessel, inviting the audience to explore the silent, overlooked spaces within themselves that yearn for visibility and understanding.
Through my work, I strive to illuminate the beauty in imperfection, the significance in transience, and the power of embracing vulnerability. As viewers engage with my creations, they are encouraged to confront their own perceptions, question societal constructs, and embark on a journey of introspection.
Unearthing the layers of our shared human experience through grief, joy, humor, and pain, my work honors the quiet, lost spaces within us that were always meant to be found, loved, and lived.
