Itzel Vilches is a San Antonio based multimedia artist. She was born in Laredo, Tx and was raised on both sides of the Mexican-American border. This led her work to focus on the fluidity and ripple effects of a multicultural identity. She earned a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts in 2021 from the University of Texas at San Antonio with a concentration in printmaking and two minors in Art History and Business Administration.

Her printmaking practice ranges from relief to serigraphy, lithography and installations. Bold line work and thematic color choice carry a narrative of personal struggle with identity. She also takes her printmaking technique into animation, combining the art forms to create captivating visuals and unique storytelling.

Itzel has also worked on several public murals throughout Laredo. She has exhibited works across Texas and Tamaulipas, Mx. Her goal is to amplify the experiences and identity struggles of border culture to help others find a greater sense of belonging. As well as making art accessible to her community. She is currently a bilingual educator for the San Antonio Museum of Art, and is excited to expand her practice in graduate school.
