BIO

Andrea Touché is a multimedia artist from Monterrey, Mexico, currently based in Chicago. She holds a BA in Industrial Design from the University of Monterrey (2016) and completed her postgraduate studies at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University in Boston (2023).​

​

Touché’s work explores themes of self-discovery, transformation, and the pursuit of happiness through a poetic blend of figurative and surreal elements. Her multidisciplinary practice spans oil and acrylic painting, watercolor pencil illustration, and hand-knitted wire sculpture—each medium chosen intuitively to express emotional depth and inner reflection.

​

Deeply influenced by her Mexican heritage, her work draws from memory, identity, and cultural symbolism. Her signature wire sculptures—at once fragile and resilient—interact with her paintings to extend the narrative beyond the canvas, embodying the duality of human emotion. Each knot becomes a marker of growth, a symbolic thread in life’s ongoing journey.

​

Butterflies often appear as a recurring motif, representing metamorphosis and the continuous evolution of the soul. Through dreamlike imagery and tactile storytelling, Touché invites viewers into intimate emotional landscapes that connect the personal to the universal.
