Artist Spotlight: Stephanie Alvarez

At Bruja Magazine, we believe artists are spellcasters in their own right—shaping stories, bending emotion, and leaving us changed with every brushstroke, stanza, or frame. Our Artist Spotlight series is where we honor those voices and visions, sharing glimpses of creators whose work hums with that undeniable resonance.

Each feature is meant to pause you in your day, to invite you to sit with what rises up in you, and to honor the power of language and image as art.

In our most recent spotlight, we’ve been drawn to the quiet intensity of writer and poet Stephanie Alvarez. Through her Instagram space, @out.of.contex.t, she offers streams of consciousness that move like spells—soft yet sharp, grounded yet floating. Her work feels both deeply personal and universally recognizable, and she embodies exactly why we share these stories: so you can feel that spark of connection too.

Stay tuned as we continue to lift up artists who merge the mystical and the modern, the intimate and the accessible. Each one brings something spellbinding to our pages—and we can’t wait for you to discover them.
