Born in Mexico City to free-thinking parents with an obsession for water, Renata Morales grew up in constant movement and spent her childhood in Mexico, France, Texas, and finally rural Quebec. These journeys marked her in two significant ways. Early on, they awoke in her an animated inner life which fueled her artistic production and brought to life strange visions from within. Second, all the changes left her with an outward yearning for the complicated human soul. As a multimedia artist, Morales’ practice spans different mediums, from drawing to painting, costume, textile, and object design, to most recently ceramic sculpture in Guadalajara, Mexico.
