HER WORK EXPLORES MEMORY AND PERCEPTION THROUGH A SENSITIVE, SOMATOSENSORY APPROACH. LINES AND FORMS ARE HER TOOLS TO NAVIGATE AN EMOTIONALLY CHARGED TERRAIN, BLENDING TRADITIONAL ART PRACTICES WITH A CONTEMPORARY VISION.

FASCINATED BY THE CONTINUITY OF THE LINE, SHE USES IT AS A DEVICE THAT BOTH DIVIDES AND CONNECTS, CREATING A PERSONAL STYLE THAT REINTERPRETS ART BEYOND ITS ORIGINS. HER PRACTICE BALANCES FIGURATIVE AND ABSTRACT ELEMENTS, COMBINING CLASSICAL AND MODERN TECHNIQUES WITH A RICH PALETTE.

SHE STUDIED AT THE SCHOOL OF VISUAL ARTS IN NEW YORK, THE ESCUELA DE ARTES VISUALES DE YUCATÁN, AND THE MANHATTAN GRAPHIC CENTER. HAVING LIVED BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO, HER WORK IS DEEPLY INSPIRED BY THIS CULTURAL DUALITY AND THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT AROUND HER.

SAMANTHA MICHELL WAS BORN IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS IN 1989 AND CURRENTLY LIVES AND WORKS IN MÉRIDA, YUCATÁN, MEXICO.
