ARTIST LISTING

Begoña Morales-Bermúdez Ruiz

Begoña Morales is an emerging Peruvian artist that lives in Mexico. Her sculptural art forms explore “the home in different dimensions–as a symbol, as a form, as a concept–related to the classic foundations of traditional sculpture.” The artist’s intent is to create a type of mental space within the plexiglas box of an exploding house to express her desire for change. As the artist says, “I find an equivalence between the loss of utopias and the destruction of the home as a social representation…this can be liberating.”

Begoña Morales es una de las artistas jóvenes emergentes de Perú. Morales estudió artes plásticas en Bellas Artes, Perú y en la Esmeralda, en la Ciudad de México. Sus piezas escultóricas exploran “la casa en diferentes dimensiones, como símbolo, como forma, como concepto; relacionándolas con los planteamientos clásicos de la escultura tradicional”. La idea de la artista es crear a través de la caja de plexiglass una especie de espacio mental en el que la casa explotando expresa su deseo de cambio “encuentro una equivalencia entre la pérdida de las utopías con la destrucción de la casa… creo que esto puede ser liberador”, dice la artista.
