Fina Ferrara
Fina Ferrara is a Mexican multidisciplinary artist whose work spans performance, video art, and installation. Trained in dance and theatre, her practice is anchored in the body as both a site of vulnerability and a vehicle for transformation. Through bold, emotionally charged actions, she explores the limits of expression, the wounds of silence, and the rituals of reclaiming one's own voice.
Ferrara’s creative process is deeply intuitive and rooted in personal experiences, yet it transcends autobiography to touch on collective narratives—especially those related to womanhood, vulnerability, and resistance. Whether holding a frozen heart in her hands or breaking wine glasses, she crafts images that linger in the viewer’s psyche.
Her art is a language of sensation and contradiction: between pain and beauty, intimacy and exposure, control and surrender. Guided by a belief in the transformative power of art, Ferrara sees performance not as reenactment, but as invocation—a way of revealing what usually remains hidden.
Born in 1983 in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico, Fina Ferrara has transformed herself from a celebrated classical ballet dancer into a bold multidisciplinary performance and video artist, fusing her rigorous training with radical new forms of expression. Her art is an unrelenting exploration of movement—physical, emotional, and conceptual—combining dance, theater, sculpture, video, and installation to create works that resonate with both power and poetry.
Every performance and video is a vivid interrogation of human boundaries, where the echoes of violence, hatred, and abuse become catalysts for transformation. Ferrara often blurs the line between performer and viewer, drawing audiences into a space of visceral reflection and emotional resonance.
Her work has crossed borders—exhibited in global capitals from London to New York, Paris to South Korea—earning her awards like the Future of Art Global Masterpiece Award and the Leonardo da Vinci International Prize. Her dynamic practice, an immersive dialogue between action and poetry, challenges social norms and beckons us to reconsider the limits of expression.
