Estefanía Viyella

b.1992, Veracruz, Mexico

Estefanía employs drawing and painting as tools to
deconstruct her surroundings and foster a meaningful
connection between herself and the world. Rather than reflecting reality, she uses these mediums
to reconstruct it, employing metaphors as a means to
explore her identity and establish her position in the
face of reality.

Taking advantage of the plasticity and tactility of oil
painting, Estefanía creates expressive images inspired
by everyday life. Bold brushstrokes and simplified shapes
contribute to the deep expressiveness of her work.

She holds a Fine Arts Bachelor’s degree from the
University of the Americas in Puebla. In 2018, her
artistic prowess and vision earned her the Young
Creators Program scholarship in Painting from the
National Fund for Culture and the Arts (FONCA).
Throughout her career, she has participated in several
collective exhibitions that showcase her talent, including
“Correspondencias” at the Faculty of Arts and Design of
UNAM, “Nueva Piel para una Vieja Ceremonia” at Karen
Huber Gallery in Mexico City.
