What is PATL.SV?

PATL.SV is the bridge between two worlds—the past and the present, my heritage and my future.
It’s the fusion of Atlanta’s energy and El Salvador’s soul, woven into every brushstroke, every design, every piece I create.
My art is a dialogue between cultures, a visual language that tells stories of resilience, identity, and transformation.
PATL.SV isn’t just a name—it’s a declaration. A space where creativity knows no borders, and where my roots fuel my artistic evolution.

  • PA – (Personal/Professional Meaning) – The first Two letters of my name “Patricia”

  • TL – (Location/Influence) – A nod to Atlanta (ATL), the city that fuels my creativity and artistic expression.

  • SV – (Heritage/Culture) – Stands for El Salvador, honoring my cultural background and the artistic influences that shape my work.

    INTRODUCTION

“Hey, I’m Patricia Hernandez, a Latine Indigenous diaspora contemporary artist and the owner of PATL.SV, based in Atlanta. My work is a mix of my cultural heritage and personal experiences—everything from my ancestry and immigrant journey to single motherhood and mental health advocacy.

I love creating art that feels bold, emotional, and deeply rooted in identity. My style blends traditional figures, landscapes, and abstract shapes, often highlighting strong women and social issues. I pull inspiration from El Salvador, Mexican aesthetics, and even my kids’ Puerto Rican roots. You’ll see a lot of movement, texture, and expressive colors in my work because I want my pieces to feel alive and full of energy.

Beyond painting, I do murals, portraits, illustrations, commissions, gallery shows—you name it. I’ve had the chance to showcase my work across Georgia and beyond, and I’m always looking for new ways to push my creativity. I’ve worked with groups like Midtown Alliance, Fair Fight, Ser Familia, Living Walls, and big brands like Mailchimp and Emory Hospital. At the end of the day, I see my art as a tool for connection—whether it’s raising awareness, advocating for mental health, or uplifting BIPOC creatives.

I’m also big on making art a sustainable career, not just for myself but for other artists, too. That’s why I started Nuestra Creación, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting Latinx, Indigenous, and BIPOC artists. We just hit a major milestone by becoming a 501(c)(3), which means we can do even more to secure funding and create opportunities for emerging artists.

Outside of all that, I’m just out here enjoying life—parenting, salsa dancing, drinking mezcal, singing karaoke, and diving into new creative outlets like tattooing and DJing. I also create sustainable merch to support my vision of growing PATL.SV into a strong art brand. One of my big dreams is to collaborate with companies that align with my mission to amplify diverse voices through art.
