Discover the transformative power of Maria Bayardo's sculptures at Chelsea's Agora Gallery.

Influenced by Picasso and Giambologna, Bayardo's pieces are a testament to her personal journey and feminist message. Join us to explore her world from October 14 to November 3, 2016.
Maria Bayardo, a distinguished Mexican sculptor, is renowned for her ability to infuse her works with a rich tapestry of emotions. Utilizing materials such as bronze, fiberglass resin, and fiber, Bayardo's sculptures are not just visually striking but also deeply expressive. Her influences include the multidimensional works of Picasso and the 360-degree sculptures of Giambologna, which have helped shape her unique artistic voice.
Bayardo's art is imbued with a significant feminist message, reflecting her personal journey through various relationships and challenges. She describes her artistic process as a path to self-discovery and healing. "You might say that it was the artist within me who discovered the sensual woman I had kept concealed. From this awakening, figures began to emerge in which I found myself reflected and healed many things that freed me," Bayardo explains.
Currently residing in Guadalajara, Mexico, Bayardo has showcased her work internationally, including in France, Italy, Mexico, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Her global exhibitions have garnered her a reputation as a powerful voice in contemporary sculpture.
