SOFIA CRUZ ROCHA

Mexico, 1989

Cruz Rocha's work links contemporary art and hermetic teachings through an extensive aesthetic body using different media such as painting, installation and sculpture. He explores universal laws, the connection between microcosm and macrocosm, along with the evolution of human consciousness.
