WHO IS
GIOVANNA DIZURITA?
Let me start by saying that such an idea never came to mind until after
we had our trash the dress photo shot in the midst of the Caribbean
ocean. My dress ended up filled with sand and salt water. I was under
the impression that it was ruined; however, some part of me could not
let it go. I placed it on the terrace and let the rays of the sun dry it off.
A few days later I packed it and brought it home. I took it to my gallery
and while painting I could not take my eyes from it. I lost myself in it
and in reminiscing on the memories of that amazing day that the dress
inspired me. Letting my inspiration and creativity take
over I lost myself in the moment...

Giovanna DiZurita is a Mexican-American artist that was
introduced to the world of art by her aunt Sofia. From her
childhood years, she remembers how her body and mind
always craved the fascinating world of lines and scribbles.
She embraces every painting as a new adventure
allowing her to fall in love with art.
For DiZurita, art was her destiny and salvation, art was
the secret language to represent her own emotional roller
coaster in her teenage years, after going through the
deportation of her parents and staying alone in a strange
place. During a time of turbulence art whispered back to
her the secret world where her imagination was the sole
creator, giving her the self-validation of her abilities and
talents as an artist.
Her artworks are a colorful composition of mixed media
consisting in acrylics, ink, oil paints, paper, fabric and
metal. Her inspiration rises from the colors of nature and
the beauty of all living organisms, fueled by the everyday
connection she gets with all the things that surround her
life. Every painting would probably tell you a very different
story about DiZurita. Working from a range of unique
interpretations, she is deeply attached with everything
that deals with her emotional state and the duality of
her internal balance, trying to develop the best version of
herself. Each artwork is an invitation into a world where
she is always trying to reach inner peace, where there is
“always more than what your eyes can see”. Her artwork
reaches the emotional connection with the spectator filling
him or her with joy and peace. As a young artist, it is
of the upmost importance to her to continue developing
and diversifying herself and her career.
The work of DiZurita has been exhibited across Central
and North America. Her art is now part of private collections
in Mexico, Canada, San Antonio, Houston, New York,
Las Vegas, North Carolina, Miami, Washington and San Diego.
Some of the collectors include musician Steven Tyler
and the Major of San Antonio.
In addition to her paintings, Giovanna has started her
own brand titled DiZurita. The collection includes a vast
variety of products such as apparel, accessories, canvas
prints, custom apparel and home décor. Challenging the
status quo is the core behavior that allows her to embrace
life with the desire to innovate and evolve constantly.
The purpose behind her brand is to allow everyone
to become a masterpiece by wearing art. In only one
year of existence her brand won Brand of the Year at the
San Antonio Fashion Awards.
WHAT IS NEXT FOR GIOVANNA DIZURITA?
I am blessed to have many amazing things happening.
My art is exhibiting at the San Antonio International Airport.
In the next months I will be taking an art exhibit
to Spain and going to Mexico City for a national radio
interview to talk about how art is my savior. Overall my
next steps are centered in the journey to become a world
renowned artist. Additionally I plan to work with other
brides in order to help them make a masterpiece of their
dress. It is such a beautiful way to treasure such an important
moment in life. That is what drove me to have an
answer to the infamous question of “What to do with my
wedding dress”.
