Valerie Campos

Valerie Campos is a self-taught artist born in Mexico City (1983) and raised in Los Angeles, California, where her first visual influences were street art and Lowbrow.

Inspired by a wide range of musical genres, Valerie paints sonorous and organic spaces, combining abstract and figurative elements, that she fragments and reproduces in a kaleidoscope-like manner.

Since the beginning of her career, Valerie Campos has strived to reconcile representations from very different origins, to transversalize the contents and principles that determine individual, community and social behaviors.

Thus, universal symbols cohabit the length and breadth of her work, sometimes being more evident, and at other times almost subliminal presences, which fuse elements from the high Mesoamerican cultures, in particular the hieroglyphics of the Mayan and Mixtec codices, along with caricatures and their capacity for synthetic communication.

She holds a scholarship from the National System of Art Creators (SNCA), an award given by the Mexican Ministry of Culture to artists with a robust professional trajectory.
