Marlene Jorge

Marlene Jorge

Marlene Jorge is a multidisciplinary visual artist whose work is a poetic reflection of the subconscious. Born in the Dominican Republic and shaped by a life of emotional depth, cultural complexity, and fierce reinvention, Marlene's artistic journey is deeply personal and unapologetically raw. Her creative voice emerged as a survival instinct—an unfiltered outcry of truth, transformation, and the beauty found in brokenness.

From an early age, Marlene was drawn to faces, dreams, and symbols that spoke louder than words. Over time, her canvas became a mirror of inner turmoil, ancestral echoes, spiritual awakenings, and feminine archetypes rising from silence. Her style, rooted in pop surrealism, blends delicate melancholy with vivid defiance, giving life to women who carry stories in their eyes and power in their stillness. Each piece she creates invites the viewer into a dreamscape where vulnerability is sacred and emotion becomes mythology.

Marlene’s philosophy is simple: art is alchemy. It’s not made to be perfect—it’s made to be *honest*. She believes creation is an act of self-return and liberation, a ritual that transcends pain into poetry, memory into magic, and emotion into energy. Her work is less about decoration and more about devotion—to healing, to truth, to the fire that transforms.

Today, Marlene Jorge continues to use her art to bridge personal and collective wounds, drawing inspiration from spiritual symbolism, everyday emotion, and the silent language of the soul. Through her paintings, she invites others to feel deeply, remember who they are, and rise—no matter how many times they’ve fallen.

Marlene Jorge is a Dominican-born visual artist known for her emotionally evocative, pop surrealist work that explores the subconscious, feminine archetypes, and personal transformation.

Her art blends raw emotion with dreamlike symbolism, offering intimate reflections on healing, identity, and inner strength. With a background rooted in storytelling and spiritual depth, Marlene creates powerful visual narratives that resonate with those navigating their journeys of reinvention. Now based in Texas, she continues to share her work through galleries, collaborations, and her creative studio.
