Teresa

Cito



Teresa Cito Born in Benghazi, Libya, in 1939, she spent her early years in the desert in the middle of World War II. At the age of four she moved to Florence and, surrounded by a city full of art, she studied at the Instituto Statale D'Arte. In 1962 she arrived in Mexico City where she has remained ever since.

In Mexico she studied at the Escuela Nacional de Pintura y Escultura La Esmeralda (National School of Painting and Sculpture La Esmeralda) and at the Escuela Nacional de Artes Plásticas de San Carlos (National School of Visual Arts of San Carlos).

Since 1974 she has made painting her profession and has had numerous solo exhibitions in Mexico, Europe, U.S.A., Canada and Costa Rica, as well as a large number of group exhibitions and biennials around the world. She has illustrated several publications of El Colegio de México (The College of Mexico) and other institutions. Several books have been published and many television programs have been made about her work. Her work is part of important private and public collections.

Nature, the ephemeral, and femininity are crucial themes in her work and have outlined her personal life. Life is a beauty and it must be lived with joy; however, it must be lived with strength, fullness and never looking back. Life must be made.

In the timeline she belongs to the SUMA Generation and works with oil, acrylic, textiles, cut-outs and collage techniques. She mainly does easel work combined periodically with giant murals and public work. Her work is personal and always seeks to reflect the truth of what she thinks in the period in which she finds herself. An artist committed to ecology and the environment, she uses her imagination to defend what matters to her. She always seeks to do good and is an activist in the defense of the world from her trench.
