About

b. 1986, HK.

 

Devora Perez’s exploration on abstraction, materiality, and perception allows a blurring of dimensions to occur as her work operates in the spaces between painting, sculpture, and installation. Although minimal and subtle in form, her three-dimensional and two-dimensional works disrupt the ideas of structure, utility, and definition. She creates works that serve as a form of resistance, pushing beyond any singular limitation, with interactions between space, material, and light, adding layers of meaning.

 

Devora Perez is a visual artist, born and based in Miami. She earned her BFA from New World School of the Arts in 2016, and her MFA from Florida International University in 2020.
