Pepe Delfin (b. 1991) explores abstract forms through geometric shapes and lines. The careful placement of these elements produces visual narratives of Delfin's experiences, observations, and relationships with people and contemporary life. Her paintings, illustrations, and video installations include scenarios that depict solitude and the multitude of expressions through bright colors and structures as a form of expression, unbounded by traditional forms of image-making.

Delfin is influenced by Josef and Anni Albers' studies and theories on color, where color is never singular and always presents itself in continuous fluxes, constantly linked to the changes in environment and conditions. Delfin's approach to geometrical abstraction broadens the perspective one can take in portraying reality according to the artist's observation and perception. The non-illusionistic settings found in her works prompt a realm filled with cues that engage the viewers to form their understanding of images, meanings, and realities.
