Luz Maria Sanchez Cardona (1971–2021) is a Mexican, multimedia artist focusing on visual and auditory art. She is known for incorporating sound in her installations because of her studies on auditory artistic elements.

Biography (or Early Life and Education)

Luz Maria Sanchez Cardona was born in Guadalajara, Mexico in 1971. Growing up in Guadalajara, she experienced narco trafficking violence. At the age of 11 she found her dead father in the kitchen with 14 builts in his chest. In the same neighborhood her grandparents lived there was a torched and murdered Mexican American DEA agent found. Despite these experiences, her art pieces are not based on her childhood experiences with narco violence because she focuses on the broad Mexican experience with violence. She also focuses her art on the Mexican Diaspora. She started to further her education in the undergraduate school Universidad de Guadalajara, Mexico. There she graduated with a major in piano and a Bachelor's degree in Literature. She then moved to Barcelona Spain and received her Ph. D in Art. There she focused her studies on auditory art, which she then used in her art exhibits. She currently lives in San Antonio, Texas and has many of her art exhibits there.
