Valentina Pelayo Atilano (Mexico,1992) was raised in Mexico City and Los Angeles, California. Her uncompromisingly interdisciplinary work intertwines painting, installation, and film in ways that reflect her transnational identity that disregards arbitrary boundaries. Experimentation is an essential part of her process as she seeks to give meaningful form to complex ideas of space, memory, loss, and longing. Her work has been commissioned, exhibited, and awarded internationally. She has a B.F.A from CalArts (2016) and is currently pursuing a PhD in Multimedia Art at the Universidad de Lisboa. She lives and works between Lisbon and Mexico City.
