aBOUT THE ARTIST
Hugo Ximello-Salido (B. 1982) is a multidisciplinary, Mexican artist whose work explores cultural identity, personal identity, communication, connection, and more. Born and raised in Guadalajara, the capital of Jalisco, Mexico, Ximello-Salido’s natural creativity and passion for creating art stems from a family background full of artists. Upon moving to the United States, new inspirations emerged from initial cultural shocks, new communities, and new relationships, which prompted him to develop his own style and techniques.
Ximello-Salido’s early work was primarily inspired by the traditions and colors of Mexican folk culture. Through a fusion of folkloric symbols, old-world history, and explorations of language and contemporary social issues, the artist creates a dialogue about identity and culture that abounds with color, texture, and meaning. He continues to find inspiration in the intersection of various communities, especially the Mexican and LGBT communities, and strives to convey distinct yet universal perspectives to the viewer through his work.
Ximello-Salido practiced and lived in Kansas City for many years and built strong, ongoing relationships with local artists and institutions. While in Kansas City, his artwork was extensively exhibited in educational settings and at prominent museums (including the Nelson-Atkins and the Kansas City Museum), as well as at many libraries, galleries, art centers, and art fairs. Having recently relocated to Santa Fe, New Mexico, he finds himself inspired by its natural beauty, cultural vibrance, and renowned art scene.
Ximello-Salido’s artwork have been exhibited in galleries and at events in Mexico, across the United States (including at Agora Gallery in New York City), and in Europe, and the artist has been featured in several print articles and documentaries.
Ximello-Salido's current project features his documentary -MUXE: The Language of Art & Culture -an artist's journey through the perception of Gender Fluidity in Oaxaca, Mexico. World Premier on Friday, June 28th, 2024 at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, MO, 7:00PM CT.
Overlapping with the year long Latino/Hispanic Exhibition “A Layered Presence- Una Presencia Estratificada” October 2023-September 2024, where Ximello-Salido's art piece inspired by gender fluidity "The Finesse of Gender Fluidity" will be still on displayed allowing spectators a better understanding of Gender Fluidity, Art & Culture.

ARTIST STATEMENT
As a native Mexican, culture and tradition are a vital part of my heritage. As a Mexican, I am fascinated by the dialogue between different cultures and traditions. As an artist, I explore personal experiences, emotions, and connections through the lens of my past and present in order to create a vibrant future.
My early work focused on the legacy of Mexican culture and its collision with the American experience. Major inspirations include Mexican colonial style, "La Catrina" (the elegant skull), and other culturally significant symbols such as La Loteria Mexicana (Mexican bingo), papel picado (perforated tissue paper), and Talavera. I use a variety of materials, including acrylics, oils, inks, gels, textiles, metals, sand, papier-mâché, and more to modernize, revive, and reinvent the Mexican art that inspires me.
Through each piece, I seek to convey a unique yet universal sense of being, feeling, or thought. I hope to challenge stereotypes, commercialization and commodification, and the arbitrary barriers we create between our shared humanity. My point of view emerges from varied perspectives on language, cultural differences, race, cultural bias, and more. My process is meditative and expressive, an expulsion of demons and a dispensation of beauty.
I find continuous inspiration through the celebration of life in all its complexity, ambiguity, and wonder. The work and legacies of other LGBT artists greatly influence my work, as do my connections with Mexican, Indigenous, and Queer communities. Notably, I draw significant inspiration from my relationships with and immersion in the Zapotec culture’s Muxe (third gender) community in southern Mexico. The expression of gender fluidity, especially in indigenous Mexican culture, is one of my central inspirations and a driving force behind my artistic exploration into diverse mediums and methods of creation.
By crafting original artworks inspired by Mexican folklore, diverse communities, and daily experiences, I endeavor to bridge the gap between past and present as a modern, Mexican artist.
