Biography
Paola Delfín, born in 1986 in Mexico City, is a Mexican illustrator and muralist trained at the Escuela Nacional de Pintura, Escultura y Grabado 'La Esmeralda.' Since the mid-2010s she has built an international practice that places feminine bodies at the heart of urban architectures, wherever the city consents to become a canvas.
Her visual language is built on an organic black-and-white line — occasionally punctuated by flashes of color — that weaves human figures with flora, fauna and pre-Hispanic iconography. Shown in Vienna, Hong Kong, Vancouver, St. Petersburg and Marrakech, the artist explores sensitivity, resistance and the place of the feminine body within cultural narratives that have long excluded them.
In 2023 she painted 'Habitando el alma' in Mexico City for Johnnie Walker México, made with AIR-INK — an ink produced from air-pollution particles captured in exhaust fumes — and in 2024 'Desde la Raíz: Alma, Cuerpo y Mente' at the IMSS hospital in Bahía de Banderas. Her works are part of the collections of Thinkspace Projects, Sugar Press Art and Jane Lombard Gallery.
