Maria del Mar Villalvazo Mendoza is a creative soul who enjoys the exploration of the arts. She was born in Orizaba, Veracruz in Mexico. Currently, she resides in Saint Paul, MN. As an interdisciplinary artist, she is on a constant journey where she fulfills her recurring need for self-expression through different mediums, doing research in a diversity of materials and processes. In her work, she makes varied disciplines work together tapping into photography, sculpture, graphic design, and chemistry processes.
She works closely with fellow artists documenting their essence, art exhibitions, and events. She recently performed at a solo exhibition "Coexist". In this collection, she invites the observer to question the concept of duality, which alludes to the coexistence of two different characters in the same entity. By making use of contrasting concepts such as ephemeral and quotidian, she aims to reflect this duality in her own personal experience as an immigrant who coexists in this duality. One who had to embrace who she is without canceling who she was, and who she will become.
