Biografía

Carmen Parra, born in Mexico City in 1944, is a Mexican painter with an extensive career focused on themes related to Mexico's cultural heritage. Through numerous exhibitions, she has successfully bridged the gap between the past and present with her distinctive graphic style and chromatic play. An ardent advocate for the preservation of Mexico's cultural and natural heritage, as well as various humanitarian causes, Carmen has devoted over 40 years to conserving the monarch butterfly and, since 2010, has worked with the Mexican golden eagle. She played a role in establishing the "Refugio salvaje," the first sanctuary for the conservation of the golden eagle. Her diverse body of work has earned her the title of "polígrafa," as she has explored a wide array of themes and interests in her art.
