Peri Pedro González Bustos

I am Peri, a Mexican artist born in Puebla, Mexico in 1998. I started my life as an artist at the end of 2020, after graduating with a degree in Tourism and Hospitality Administration from the Universidad Iberoamericana de Puebla. After finishing my studies, I decided to follow my passion: the creation of works centered on animals.
While studying for my degree, I worked in my father's taxidermy workshop, a renowned Master Taxidermist. Over the years, I learned the anatomical study of animals that I apply to my designs today.
The process of transforming an idea or a thought into something physical, tangible, is something I experience, focusing on exploring the animal world, where I combine different species with parts of the human body that, when fused together, create fantastic, grotesque beasts where the beauty emerges. “Cococoatl”, “Abuelo Neek´ and “Teo Bicéfalo” are some of my creations.
I am an artist on the rise, with a lot to experience. My trajectory is based on trial and error, since most of what I have learned has been through the use of different materials and techniques. Resins, plasticine, pastes, fiberglass, silicone and various types of paint are some of the materials that I have used throughout my journey as an arti...

I consider myself a self-taught artist, since I did not attend any art school.
I could say that much of what I know I learned in my father's taxidermy workshop.
And as a complementary education, I studied Tourism and Hospitality Administration at the Iberoamerican University of Puebla.
