Napoleón Aguilera
(Guadalajara, Jalisco, 1986)

Napoleón Aguilera is a graduate of the ITESO School of Architecture. From the understanding of space and its structuring, he has ventured into the visual arts seeking to unite diverse materials, each with its corresponding craft. He has worked carving wood, forging metal through blacksmithing and modulating obsidian stones.

This impulse for different disciplines has led him, first, to challenge the limits of the usual methods of artistic production, and also to collaborate with other experts who bring original perspectives to his works. His oeuvre dynamically dialogues with subjects as varied as cockfighting, science fiction, fashion, criminal slang and rumors circulating on the web. He resides in Guadalajara.
