Maria Abaddon is a Peruvian visual artist, teacher, and cultural manager. She holds a BA in Plastic and Visual Arts from the National School of Fine Arts in Peru and has exhibited widely. Her work, which confronts themes of everyday violence, self-mortality, and human fragility, is part of private collections in Peru, Chile, and Poland. She delves into the fragmentation of the body, exploring themes of violence and human fragility through symbolic spaces and organic elements. Her installations often create immersive, ritualistic environments that invite reflection on mortality and societal norms. By presenting acts of carnage and ritual mourning, she challenges viewers to confront the harsh realities of human existence and our disconnection from one another.
