Cynthia Serur

Photographer / México

Cynthia is interested in seeking the essence of life and the living in the environment known as “Reality.” The photographer has chosen the disfigurement—or abstraction—of the figurative image as a means that allows her to synthesize the elemental and essential, always reaching for the light. Convinced that reality is not limited to what is seen at first glance, Cynthia Serur has developed proposals based on questioning and reinventing what faces the photographic lens. Her photographs become evocations; evocations of nature that refer to an idea of beauty inherent to the human being. Aware that all reality—whether matter, space, or color—is in a continuous process of transformation, Cynthia Serur has opted to reveal and capture that change which characterizes the reality that surrounds us.

She has participated in international fairs such as Zona MACO, MADRID PHOTO, Context Art Miami, Photo Independent LA, and ART Innsbruck. Her work has been exhibited as solo and collective in Mexico City, San Miguel de Allende, the Arocena Museum in Torreón, Miami, LA, New York, Madrid, Florence, Portugal, and Israel. She has also been included in various collections, such as the collection of the Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Mexico City, and several private collections in Mexico, San Francisco, Miami, LA, Madrid and London. 

She won first place in the Casa Lamm "Manuel Álvarez Bravo" Award of photography and received the first place National Graphic Design Award Pedro Domecq. She gave a conference at the Emergent Festival in Lleida, Spain, titled “Photography has no time if there is no memory.”

Is the founder of the OR-B foundation. Through urban art, she developed "ISITIA" (awakening in Nahuatl), a youth empowerment program since 2012, and the program “IF YOU ONLY KNEW” through photography.

Was a member of the UNICEF Advisory Council from 2015 to 2023.
