Born in Mexico City in 1990, Fernanda Caballero graduated in Interior Architecture from the Monterrey Center for Higher Design Studies (CEDIM) and complemented her training with studies in drawing, sculpture, and classical painting at La Sorbonne in Paris. Based in Mexico City since 2016, following a residency in Oaxaca dedicated to the study of natural pigments in textiles, she has developed a practice that intertwines painting, textile arts, ceramics, the body, and performance.
Since 2018, she has been producing her current work, characterized by large formats, fabrics made from recycled textiles, braiding, and a vibrant study of color. She has presented memorable solo exhibitions such as Temple (Mexico City, 2019), As Deep as I Can Get Into This Thing (Los Angeles, 2019), A Strange Loop (Salón Acme, Galería Enrique Guerrero, 2020), Beginner's Mind (Galería Enrique Guerrero, Mexico City, 2021), dual performances with Aldo Chaparro (Colector, Monterrey, and Adjust the Blinds, Paris, 2022), as well as the most recent installation “Paisajes” at House of Vans CDMX (2023) and El jardín que crecí at Galería Colector (2024).
His practice stands out for incorporating disciplines such as dance, physicality, meditation, Qi Gong, and yoga, integrating movement and spirituality through color, texture, and the presence of the body, constructing works where chance and the present moment generate emotional connections beyond the object.
