Hilda Palafox (Mexico, 1982). Her work includes painting, drawing, ceramics, and textiles. Hidden in her strokes, the mystery of the feminine is balanced with the symbolism of the physical, emotional, and spiritual state; she explores the body as matter with the ability to mold itself. Her use of the figurative focuses on the female figure as a tool of expression. The line, as a continuous succession of points, becomes important in Palafox's work, in which it is possible to observe the intersection of disciplines. The movement of the brush in both curved and straight lines traces the body mass of her characters that cover large parts of the canvas, made up of colorful and textured planes due to the materiality of the oil. Her training in graphic design has led her to focus her interest on the color and syntax of the image, as well as on the connection with the viewer through images that show daily activities turned into subtle analogies about emotions and the closest experiences of the human psyche. Hilda Palafox lives and works in Mexico City. She studied at the Design School of the National Institute of Fine Arts (EDINBA). She has participated in exhibitions in cities such as Oaxaca, Querétaro, MexicoCity, Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Onomichi and has made murals in Mexico, the United States, Canada, Japan, and Brazil. ‍
