Artist Statement

Maria Del Pilar (PILI) Lopez-Saavedra

* * * * *

I am a Brown, MILALMAS/Gender expansive, Colombian born, Miami raised, New York-based
creative co-struggling for a Black/Brown Utopia.

My multidisciplinary exploration of reality questions ideas surrounding power, intimacy, divinity, and art’s relationship to society.

The primary material in my work has been Mi Cuerpo, my body, since it is the vessel through which I experience this life and through which this world perceives me.

Visual imagery + Paintings included in my performance pieces accompany/contextualize my body.

I am cultivating a reflective, creative, self determinated existence resulting in cultural production for the benefit of Queer/LGBTQ Black Indigenous people of color and/or anyone who identifies with mi vision.
