MITI MOTA - Exhibition from January 11 to March 14, 2020
Boards, drawings and objects

Amanda Baeza's work is eclectic, luminous even if talking about serious things,  chromatically intense because color is the common thread in the manufacture of a very personal imagery. In the exhibition Miti Mota, whose title is taken from the comic book recently published by the publisher Chilli com Carne, the apparent creative dispersion that experiments with materials (scribes, paints, wool), supports (tracing paper, cardboard, wood, fabric) and different languages (drawing, comics, painting, illustration, sculpture, textile manipulation, ceramics) builds a fruitful oscillatory movement between disciplines, opening up broader fields of reading than that of a mere narrative vein.    

Amanda Baeza (b. 1990) grew up in Valparaíso, Chile. With a degree in Design, she opened up to the world with the zine Mr. Spoqui (2009-2013), a project created in partnership with her younger brothers. This universe later expanded to comics, in a collection of short visual poems compiled in the book Bruma, published by Chili Com Carne, in 2017. Over the years, she has collaborated with publishers such as Kus!, Fulgencio Pimentel and Lagon Revue. In the field of illustration, his work for the publisher El Limoreno was selected as one of the winners of the illustrators' exhibition at the Bologna Children's and Youth Book Fair in 2025. He has just edited a new comic book by Chili Com Carne, called Miti Mota. He lives and works in Portugal.
