Circe
Circé’s practice begins with an exploration of the female body as a symbolic space, unfolding into an inquiry of identity and power. Her research shifts between representation and ritual metamorphosis moving through iconographies and narratives that recur.
Data and contact details

Circé began creating from a young age, but it was over the past decade in Mexico that she solidified her artistic identity, establishing a studio in Mexico City to work more methodically. Following her first solo exhibition at Madre Café in May 2021—which brought her increased visibility—she started gaining recognition within the city's art scene, participating in life drawing sessions and workshops with other emerging artists.

After taking part in a group show during Mexico City Art Week in February 2022, Circé traveled to Havana to attend workshops and courses at the Instituto de Bellas Artes de San Alejandro and the Instituto Superior de Artes (ISA). These experiences provided her with a stronger academic and theoretical foundation, helping her further develop her practice within the field of contemporary art.

 

In January 2024, she participated in Mexico City Art Week with a large-scale painting and sculptural installation, and in March 2024 she returned to her hometown, Rome, where she opened a new studio. She reintroduced herself to Rome with a 24-hour live painting performance on a 30m² surface at Spazio Ventre in May 2024, drawing inspiration from classical iconography. Later that year, she took part in the 2024 edition of Rome Art Week with an open studio.

Her work is an inquiry into identity and the power structures inscribed in the body and collective memory. She primarily works through painting and drawing, but also employs silkscreen printing and sculpture.
