Paloma Contreras Lomas (she/her) lives and works in Mexico City, Mexico. 

Paloma Contreras Lomas' multimedia artistic practice spans drawing, sculpture, performance, text, and video. With a blend of humor and baroque excess, she explores themes such as gender, violence, classism, colonial guilt, and the construction of Mexican identity. Pop culture references, horror, true crime, and science fiction intertwine with autobiographical elements and field research. Using garish and soft materials like plush, or exaggerated, surreal imagery, she creates hybrid figures and scenarios that simultaneously address pop culture, the grotesque, and violence. Her work oscillates between fiction and social analysis, reflecting on complex social and postcolonial power dynamics.
