About

Pia Cisneros attended Cal State East Bay and received a B.F.A in art concentrating in Fine Art Practice in Spring 2020. Her work is based on inspirations and memory. Different inspirations and memories come from Catholicism, being a Bay Area native, and other personal interests. She uses charcoal to bring her works to life, working in hyperrealism. Pia is not limited by this and has also worked in painting, printmaking, ceramics, and other art forms.

She took part in “Art of the Heart” sponsored by Kaiser Permanente and received the AP Studio Art Department Award while attending Castro Valley High School. Her work has been shown at the Hayward Area Historical Society and several times at California State East Bay University.

Pia was raised in a religious Mexican, Italian household. She currently still lives in the Bay Area, California.
