ileana moreno

Ileana Moreno, Mexican visual artist with studies in fashion design. Her work focuses on the exploration of clothing as a field of study, through this, it is possible to approach a personal need of a reconfiguration of the body, based on the idea of the garment as a second skin and detaching it from its most basic purpose which is to be dressed. In this way her work addresses the condition of the female body today, as well as the future of an industry that is so close to us. Therefore, the artist’s relationship with the material comes from the need for constant skin change, in an universe surrounded by plastics, industrial materials and cultural tendencies that as a whole transgresses and alters our human condition.

She studied Arts degree in the Arts and Design Faculty (FAD) at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and a degree in Fashion Design at the Zeitgeist Institute. Itinerantly she has been developing field research in different communities in the state of Oaxaca, giving workshops on the relationship between identity and creation addressing the clothing industry to women in these communities. Likewise, the individual exhibition æ.m’fibie was the result of an artistic residence held in the current year at Biquini Wax EPS, which is supported by the Cultural Community Collective Social Program of the Culture Department of Mexico City.
