Amanda Soto Martínez (Coahuila, Mexico, 2002) is an artist that holds a Bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts from the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León. With over six years of experience in the art world, she has participated in more than ten group exhibitions and has held three solo shows, her most recent being “Tiempo Concreto" in Sitio CENTRO. Her artistic practice focuses on sculpture, assemblage, and painting. She also has a strong interest in museography, curatorship and cultural management.
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.
She draws on the concepts of neokitsch and psychogeography to 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.
