By employing drawing, sculpture, performance, writing and multimedia installation, Paloma Contreras Lomas addresses subjects such as gender, violence, political inheritance and structure, class segregation and post-colonialism.

‍

By using landscape as her videos' witness and through the creation of costumes and characters with anthropological character, Contreras achieves rural portraits through the Mexican thriller and explores the exotisation of the indigenous class, colonial guilt and the constructed middle class identity.

‍

Through investigation and by approaching certain groups or communities, Contreras Lomas’ work contains affective bonds and, on occasions, a hint of autobiographical projection.
