Layers of fabric and hand-torn paper that leave the making visible.

Raquel Barrios (b. 1988) lives and works in Guadalajara, Mexico. She holds a BFA from the University of Guanajuato.

Her work explores construction through painting, installation and illustration. Working with fabric and hand-torn paper, she builds mixed-media layers that keep the process visible, with irregular forms that speak of the imperfection in human creation.

Barrios has exhibited widely in Mexico, including at the Diego Rivera House Museum, and was selected for the Biennial of Contemporary Art in Lagos, Nigeria (2019). She received the PECDA Young Creators Grant from Mexico's Secretary of Culture and has taught workshops at the Cabañas Museum and at ESARQ University of Arts and Architecture.
