Based in Mexico City, multimedia artist and designer Pilar Zeta is best known for her surrealist works heavily influenced by nascent interest in Ancient Egypt, cosmology and metaphysics.
Having been introduced to esoteric philosophies from a young age (her mother was an art history teacher in Argentina), Pilar Zeta’s understanding of Neo- Metaphysical concepts is ubiquitous throughout her various artistic creations. Zeta’s artistic style is defined by her minimalist, surrealist landscapes, her bold use of colour and of deconstructed shapes.
Describing her own artistic style as ‘mystical futurism’, Zeta’s allusions to ancient traditions concerning practical magic and her innovative digital skills allow her to create liminal spaces in which both the past and the future are acknowledged and engaged with.
The Argentinian-born artist’s creations have granted her international recognition, including a 2021 Grammy nomination for her role as Art Director for Coldplay’s ‘Everyday Life’ and was the same year commissioned to do the main installation during Miami Art Basel at Faena Miami. Titled ‘Hall of Visions’ this site-specific monumental installation was open to the public and was the most photographed installation of Miami Art week.
Zeta will be coming to Dubai at the occasion of Dubai Design Week, and a specially commissioned architectural outdoor installations that can be experiences at the property of the W Mina Seyahi, and will share insights into her work with diverse mediums on a panel discussion in The Forum at Downtown Design, on 9 November 2023.
