Collection: Roldan-de-Moras, Gladys

Born in Monterrey, Mexico, international award-winning artist Gladys Roldan-de-Moras is known for the unique style in which she portrays vivid Spanish traditions, including gallant Mexican escaramuzas riding horses side saddle in a vivid rodeo-style festival, romantic Flamenco dancers clad in exuberant Andalusian dresses, and old-fashioned, delicate damsels in intimate, exquisite poses. Having lived in San Antonio for over thirty years, she finds great inspiration in representing her love of the Spanish culture that was passed down by her maternal grandfather, a proud lifelong charro who decades ago helped promote charreria as the official national sport in Mexico.

Roldan-de-Moras’s lustrous work—always lively and dramatic—has landed in many important private and public permanent collections. Her art has been featured in Fine Art Connoisseur, Art of the West, Southwest Art, American Western Art Collector, Western Art and Architecture, Architectural Digest European Edition, and many more.
