Paula Santiago
Paula Santiago (born in Guadalajara in 1969) is a Mexican mixed media artist whose works have been displayed at the Monterrey Museum of Modern Art and several galleries in Europe and North America.[1] Most of her work stands out by being made with her own blood and hair.[2]
Artistic development
Santiago studied Industrial Engineering at the Panamerican University in her native Guadalajara but, in spite of being a good pupil, she eventually dropped out and left for Paris where she took up Literature and Art History at the Sorbonne.[3][4] Later on she moved to London and started working on her pieces. She considers herself at odds with the current trends in art. Specially with the art industry and academicism. During an interview she stated: "I didn't want to work with concepts; I wanted to work with my life.[5]
