Nerea Arce Masnú (b. 1994) is an immigrant and Latina painter and illustrator born in Mendoza, Argentina.

Nerea skillfully blends various painting techniques creating pieces she hopes awaken some thought. Her body of work is an eco of various styles as she continuously explores and challenges different ideas, emotions, and texture through the use of acrylic, pastels, and nontraditional materials like coffee and tea often on untreated, raw canvas. Through this medium, she delves into identity, cultural perceptions on women, queerness, men and softness, and politics around immigration, poverty, and incarceration. She currently resides in the beach with her two dogs, Frida & Picasso and her partner, all whom she is endlessly thankful for. And of course, her parents.

Her work can be found in private collections in the United States, Venezuela and South Africa.
