VISUAL ART

FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY

​​​

​Michelle Aubert, originally from Mexico, is a multidisciplinary creator whose work reflects a profound connection to the cultural diversity that has shaped her life. At 19, she moved to Ireland, marking the beginning of a cosmopolitan journey enriched by multicultural perspectives. Today, she lives and works between Mexico City and Paris, where she serves as a creative director and visual artist.

Aubert holds a strong academic foundation from the University of the Arts London. She began her artistic practice in 2020, focusing on photography as her primary medium. Using unconventional tools, she captures unique visual fragments that challenge perception, characterized by an introspective and conceptual sensibility.

In May 2021, she presented her first solo exhibition at Galería Casa Terra in Mexico City. Her piece Golden, part of the Pandemic Illusion series, received international recognition when it was highlighted by ArtFinder as one of the most notable works by an emerging artist. That same year, her work ON was selected for the auction Un Nudo en la Garganta, organized by Fundación Origen, where it was showcased alongside pieces by renowned artists such as Pantaleón Ruiz, Brian Nissen, and Betsabeé Romero.

​

In January 2025, Michelle presented her second solo exhibition, Close, but Far, at Galería Únion. This deeply symbolic series represents an emotional rebirth, exploring the release of long-held emotions and the pursuit of a more authentic connection with self.

​With meticulous attention to detail, Aubert reinterprets formal developments from the

historical tradition of art, infusing them with a contemporary perspective. Although her work focuses on everyday objects, her introspective and sensitive gaze transforms them into a complex universe full of possibilities within abstraction.

​

The photographs that make up Pandemic Illusion belong to a series of 40 distorted images of common objects that interacted with the artist during the pandemic. This process led to a sensorial perception where each captured fragment generates multiple interpretations.

​

These images provoke an optical illusion that invites the viewer to construct their own narrative.

​

Produced entirely with an iPhone, Aubert prompts reflection on the repetitive routines we face as human beings. Through these images, she questions how we have sought acceptance in ephemeral media and digital platforms, settling for virtual recognition that has disconnected us from sensitivity toward our surroundings.

 

In this way, the series creates a dialogue of gratitude, connection, and a renewed appreciation for the essential.
