LIFE

Every morning, Inocente paints on her face—but she’s not hiding who she is, she’s embracing it. Her look is just as original as her artwork. And boy, do we love her for it.

Inocente loves trying new things, from challenging herself with unusual painting surfaces to taking on different activities.

Facebook Q: “Besides your devotion to your art, what other interests do you have?”

Inocente is super humble. She is constantly amazed by all the attention she’s garnered since the release of the documentary, including folks who want to buy her work. While she knows it’s great that she can live off her passion—a mark of her commercial success as a professional artist—she confesses that she’d rather give her work away to people she know will enjoy it. 

“No one’s going to make my dreams come true I have to do it myself, everyone has to fend for their lives in this world. So I just always tried to better my life, knowing no one else would do it for me.” - Inocente

Sometimes, she orders dessert before dinner. Add that to our end-of-summer bucket list, please.

“You can never go wrong with a root beer float.” – Inocente

She wears flowers in her hair and paint-splattered red Converse on her feet. She’ll rock a tutu when she’s in the mood. Her personal style is nothing if not eclectic and unique.

Inocente paints what she loves. And right now, she’s finding tons of inspiration from her adorable, newly adopted albino bunny, Luna.

Facebook Q: “How come you love bunnies so much? Where did that begin?”

Answer: “I think as a child i always was fascinated by there cuteness and ability to over power the world with cuteness.”

You can check out her art as she paints it on Facebook—she is constantly posting pictures. And it’s not all fluffy bunnies (or frogs or giraffes or pigs or penguins). When the mood strikes, Inocente crafts imaginative, graphic, sometimes surreal visions of women and other things.

Inocente told The New York Times that she has no desire to take art classes, because she doesn’t feel the need to know about the history of art to be able to do what she loves. The real lesson? When it comes to art, there’s no such thing as right ‘n’ wrong.
