Zayra Mo

Zayra Mo is a Puerto Rican artist who has being living in Miami for 20 years now.

She started in the arts since she was a child. Today she combines her abilities in dance, photography, text, video and design to express her “crazy thoughts” as life’s metaphor.

Her contemporary languages of fantasy, game and desire, are composed with powerful colors, fancy dresses, intoxicating places, toys, plants and real characters. In her way, Mo freezes time with these dramatic scenes taking us on a unique journey.

At Femme Art Miami, Mo is showing part of the “Self Portraits” photos series taken on 2007, which explores our “freedom” when we are alone.

“Self Portraits” is one of the series of “Feminist Project“ that Mo created together with “Wrestling Women”, “Barbie Got a Message” and “The Brides in Escape”.

In 2010, Mo created the series Twisted Love

Mo took her first photograph when she was 17 years old and her first solo exhibition was “D Mannequin” on 2005 in Miami.

Mo’s art has been exhibited in cities such as Miami, New York and Antwerp (Belgium).
