Consuelo Velázquez

Consuelo Velázquez Bravo has been interested in creation since childhood. She began studying modern dance in Guadalajara, which she left to study piano at the music conservatory there. She is a self-taught visual artist who later studied at the Escuela Nacional de Artes Plásticas (abbreviated as ENAP-UNAM in Spanish), where she consolidated her technique while experimenting with different media and contexts. Her work has been influenced by themes such as memory and family, and she’s used techniques such as weaving while incorporating unusual materials, like metallic threads, into her practice. She has shown work in Cuba, Spain, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, and Morocco. She currently works in Guadalajara and teaches courses in various techniques and media, like painting, encaustic, engraving, and installation.
