María Luisa Reid

She continued studying painting at the Escuela de Pintura y Escultura “La Esmerald” from 1978 to 1982, then sculpture at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts Atelier Calca in Paris 1982 to 1986.

She completed her bachelors and masters in fine arts at the University of Paris in Saint Denis.

She believes that sculpture should involve all the senses and says that historically erotic art had a magical-religious purpose, and she works to capture this essence.

[1] Her individual exhibitions have included those at the Instituto Mexicano Israelí, the Galería José María Velasco (associated with INBA), the Salón de la Plástica Mexicana, and the Galería Pedro Gerson at the Centro Deportivo Israelita.

Her work has appeared in collective exhibitions in France, Spain, Japan and Cuba with the most important of these being 300 Latino-americans dans l’espace in Paris, the IV Encuentro Iberoamericano de Mujeres en el Arte in Alcalá de Henares, Spain and the Viva la vida Frida in Havana.
