Tepic, Nayarit, Mexico, 1951 -
BiographyRocio Maldonado was born in Mexico and received her education at the Escuela Nacional de Pintura y Escultura La Esmeralda in Mexico City. She worked for a time as a printmaker before coming to the United States in 1980. Maldonado's works have been exhibited in California, New York, Spain, Mexico and Australia. Maldonado's works are reminiscent of the Neo-Expressionists although her themes are based on Mexican cultural and religious themes. Her works are also characterized by dream-like motifs where figures float around the edges or appear in ghost-like forms.
