María José Vasconcelos is a Mexican-Spanish architect and multidisciplinary artist who lives and works in Paris.
​
“I identify as a multidisciplinary thinker. My practice bridges architecture, photography, and the exploration of space. I believe that both architecture and art have the power to influence human emotions and thoughts. However, to achieve this impact, it is essential to have an understanding of the issues and challenges present in our urban and social environments.”
​
​María José seeks to bring a holistic perspective to her academic, professional, and creative work, which is why she pursued a Master’s degree in Fine Arts of Photography and Image-Making at Paris College of Art, Paris, graduating in May 2024. María José graduated in Architecture with honours from the Cátedra Blanca CEMEX at the Universidad Iberoamericana Mexico City in 2017, the city where she began her work experiences ranging from residential, office, and interior design to visual arts and photography.
In her work, she plays with the relationship between memory and present, blurring the lines between the imaginary and the real, spatiality and perception, as well as identity and identification. Through her photographs, installations, and designs, she utilizes space as a common thread in time. Incorporating elements like archival photographs, scenery, and symbolic objects, she invites viewers to navigate through layers of time and meaning. Employing diverse mediums such as sculpture, photography and video, she challenges the veracity of our physical reality and our perception of it.
