Working under the moniker La Dama, she creates bold, high-impact paintings that explore themes of identity, assimilation, and societal dynamics, drawing influence from Pop Art, film, and contemporary political climates.

A true cinephile from childhood, Torres grew up captivated by the visual storytelling of her favorite directors, a passion that continues to inform the cinematic intensity and layered narratives within her work. Her artistic roots in screen printing shaped her graphic precision, yet each painting is executed through a fully analog process done entirely by hand, with no stencils or digital applications. This meticulous approach underscores both her perfectionism and her commitment to preserving the tactile essence of painting.

Torres spent 15 years in Los Angeles expanding her art education, refining her practice, and building a dedicated following. Her work has been exhibited in prestigious galleries and events across the United States including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento, Miami, and New York and internationally in Toronto, Canada. Her pieces are held in private collections throughout North America, Mexico, and Germany, establishing her reputation as a contemporary artist with a distinctive visual voice.

In addition to her studio practice, Torres is the founder and director of Dama Gallery, where she has championed contemporary artists and curated nearly 300 exhibitions since 2011. While the gallery celebrates the vision of others, her personal art continues to thrive independently, maintaining a unique and uncompromised creative identity.
