Aurora Pellizzi was born in Mexico City in 1983 and grew up between New York City and Morelos, Mexico. She studied art at the Cooper Union School in New York (BFA, 2010) and at New York University (BFA, 2005). His work has been exhibited in Colombia, France, Italy, Mexico, Morocco, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Pellizzi’s work uses formal precepts of Western painting and sculpture that he combines with artisanal techniques. His practice is based on pre-industrial textile processes and materials, from natural dyeing to backstrap loom weaving. The technical restrictions that these tools offer, originate forms, textures and dimensional formats that feed the conceptual research of Pellizzi, who currently lives and works in Mexico City, Mexico.
