amanda soto martínez
(2002) artist and curator originally from Coahuila, Mexico. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts from the Universidad Autonoma de Nuevo León (2025) and a Diploma in Museum Management and Direction from ESNECA Business School Spain (2020). Her work has been exhibited in various cultural spaces such as Casa de la Cultura de Nuevo León, Casa del Cerro Museum, MARCO Museum, and RASTRO gallery. Her most recent exhibition being Concrete Time at Sitio Centro. She has also managed and curated several exhibitions, her most notable being Nocturnidades presented for Monterrey´s Artweek 2026.
She has specialized in the artistic production of sculpture, installation, and traditional painting.
Her works emerge from an anthropological study of the urban areas she inhabits. She observes and analyzes the structures that shape public spaces, which constantly change over time. Her research explores the movement of people across different geographical zones, the formation of a home, as well as the personal objects that define each individual’s sense of intimacy.
Based on the concepts of neokitsch and psychogeography she develop pictorial and sculptural pieces that question urban spaces and reframe everyday objects. Through experimentation with various techniques such as assemblage and painting, she combines different recycled materials like wood, paper brochures, debris, plaster, among others to add layers and textures to each piece, telling stories of life, survival, and transformation.
Her curatorial work focuses on bringing together different dialogues among emerging Mexican artists whose practices are oriented toward situations within urban space. She analyzes the phenomenon of displacement between different geographic areas and how this becomes part of new methodologies of creation.
She is currently working as a curator at Biblioteca 611, an independent cultural center that receives emerging and experimental proposals.
