About the Artist
Adriana Burgos is a narrative artist based in Savannah, Georgia, working primarily in drawing. Adriana’s work centers on figures in environments, still lives, and landscapes exploring how place, posture, and object convey emotion, story, and meaning. Rooted in observation, memory, and imagination, her practice blends careful structure with expressive mark-making to create images rich in atmosphere and metaphor.
Working with materials such as charcoal, graphite, pastel, watercolor, and silverpoint, Adriana creates images that span from intimate still lives to larger, more intricate pieces drawn from life, memory, and imagination. Her interest in using figures, landscapes and objects to channel story allow her to explore narrative images in many ways.
In addition to maintaining an active studio practice, Adriana Burgos is a college professor who teaches drawing at the Savannah College of Art and Design. Her role as professor continually deepens her engagement with drawing as both a discipline and a form of inquiry. She holds formal training in fine art with an undergraduate degree in Graphic Design and graduate degree in Painting and has exhibited work in both solo and group exhibitions at regional and national levels in the United States and Costa Rica. Her drawings have been featured in galleries, academic institutions, and curated shows, with work held in private collections.
