Hello, I'm Libia Rocha.

Born in Durango and currently based in Mexico City​,​ I embarked on my artistic journey at the age of five​,​ inspired by watching Bob Ross reruns with my mother. After high school​,​ I pursued formal art studies but had to withdraw after one semester due to illness. Since then​,​ I have developed my practice as a self-taught painter​,​ poet​,​ and photographer. A pivotal moment in my career came when I was invited to the Château d'Orquevaux artist residency​,​ an experience that reshaped my artistic perspective and solidified my commitment to my craft. During this time​,​ I began my ongoing series Habitar​,​ which explores the fluidity of gender and the emotional landscapes of self-expression. My artistic evolution has taken me from Fauvist-inspired vibrancy to the raw emotional depth of Abstract Expressionism. I work primarily on large-scale canvases​,​ using color and form to navigate themes of gender identity​,​ body dysmorphia​,​ and pop culture. My work is influenced by Paul Preciado​,​ Simone de Beauvoir​,​ and Joan Didion​,​ as well as the Fluxus movement​,​ Japanese haiku​,​ and Yoko Ono’s conceptual approach. Beyond painting​,​ I explore poetry and Polaroid photography​,​ distilling human connection into concise​,​ poetic forms. I also bring my art to the streets through sticker interventions​,​ bridging the gap between gallery spaces and public interaction. My work has been featured in both solo and group exhibitions​,​ including Sin Temática (Indra Gallery​,​ London​,​ 2025)​,​ Efímero: Arte​,​ Vida y Muerte (Centro Cultural Juan Rulfo​,​ Mexico City​,​ 2024)​,​ Ladies Night (Covet Art Gallery​,​ California​,​ 2024)​,​ Be True​,​ Be You! (KBM Art Gallery​,​ Online​,​ 2024)​,​ Medusa: The Power of Women in Art (Van Zaig Gallery​,​ California​,​ 2024)​,​ Fligere (EXDECA Gallery​,​ Mexico City​,​ 2024)​,​ Diálogos Corporales (EXDECA Gallery​,​ 2023)​,​ and Château d'Orquevaux Open Studio (France​,​ 2023). My solo exhibitions include Sincretismo Pop (Tlachiquero Mezcalería​,​ Mexico City​,​ 2022) and Kintsugi: El Arte de Romperse (Palacio de los Gurza​,​ Durango​,​ 2018). Additionally​,​ my work has been published in The Bureau of Queer Art (Volumes 5 and Autumn Edition) and in my illustrated poetry book Kintsugi: El Arte de Romperse (2018). My artistic practice is an ongoing exploration of self-discovery​,​ identity​,​ and transformation. Through my work​,​ I invite the viewer to inhabit the multiplicity of being and embrace the beauty of fluidity.
