Born and raised in Mexico City, Beatriz Morales left her native country in 2001 to pursue largely autodidactic studies in painting, pottery and fashion design. Morales combines an investigative, abstract-expressionist approach, at times combined with figurative and illustrative components, creating a concretely conceptualized body of work.
Her painting Wonderland II was presented at the Museum of Contemporary Art Rufino Tamayo (Mexico City and Oaxaca) as part of the Mexican Painting Biennial 2017. Morales made her major art fair debut shown at Zona Monaco in 2018. Her work was shown at Dallas Art Fair 2019 and in numerous galleries across Europe and North America. Beatriz Morales’ recent exhibitions also include a major solo exhibition at Circle Culture Berlin and two major museum shows at the Chancellery Museum in Mexico City and the Museum of Contemporary Art MACAY in Merida, which dedicated its main exhibition hall to a large-scale installation by the artist. Upcoming highlights include participation in the group exhibition “The King is Dead, Long Live the Queen” at Frieder Burda Museum, Baden Baden, Germany.
Morales published her first major monography “Color Archaeology” on Kerber Publishing in December 2021, available now in bookstores internationally.
